Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will be ready for Gabriel Jesus should he feature for Manchester City tomorrow.

The two teams face each other at the Etihad at 5:30pm on Saturday and it is the first time City's new signing Gabriel will be available for selection.

“I know him very well because I saw him play in his national team in Brazil," Pochettino told Tottenham Hotspur's official website. "I think he's not a proper striker, he's more a player that can play like a second striker."

Pochettino has also called on the youngster to be given time to develop and for fans to not pile too much pressure on to him.

“He's very young, he has potential, a very talented player. Maybe he will be on the pitch or on the bench, I don't know, but in my opinion he's very young, he's 19 years old and we need to wait," Pochettino added.

“Today, it's too difficult not to have an idea because with the internet, watching football from everywhere, you can find information quickly."
