Former Real Madrid and Barcelona star Ronaldo is a big fan of Palmeiras striker Gabriel Jesus.

The teen has been linked with both Spanish giants.

"He has a footballing career ahead of him. We are already loving what he is doing," said Ronaldo.

"If he passes all of my records, it means he will be giving happiness to this country's people, that have suffered so much."

Gabriel Jesus was provided with a valuable piece of advice from Ronaldo: "Play, be happy, enjoy yourself with the ball. Later, managers will ask you to do all sorts of things, but when you have the ball, enjoy yourself, try nutmegs, but always looking for the goal, which is what the fans like."
