Gabriel Fernando de Jesus, a Brazilian professional footballer, plays as a forward for Manchester City in the Premier League and for the Brazil national team. He was born on April 3, 1997.
Jesus began his professional career at Palmeiras. In 2015, he was named the best rookie in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and he also helped his team win the Copa do Brasil.
Palmeiras won their first national league title in 22 years the following year, and he was voted player of the year.
