Gabriel Jesus has described his battle with Sergio Aguero for a place in Manchester City’s starting line-up as “thankless” and described the Argentinian as the best player in the Premier League club’s history.
Despite having scored 63 goals in 138 matches for City, the 23-year-old Brazilian has struggled to secure a regular berth in Pep Guardiola’s preferred 11, which has mostly featured Aguero in the No 9 role.
“He is the biggest idol that has ever played for the club,” Jesus said in an Instagram Live session on Thursday.
“I know I’m not going to be a guaranteed starter. But I believe I’m improving and I’ll continue to improve. I think my greatest quality is my mindset.”
