Jesus has already hit the ground running in England after impressing against Crystal Palace in a 3-0 FA Cup win on Saturday, and he netted his first goal for Pep Guardiola's side in Wednesday night's 4-0 victory at West Ham, in which he also grabbed an assist.

With it, he became the second-youngest Brazilian to score his first Premier League goal following Rafael for Manchester United in November 2008.

Guardiola admitted post-match that he didn't know what to expect from his £27m signing.

"You never know, it is like a watermelon, you have to open and see if it is good or not," Guardiola said after the game.

"The perspective was good. He is a young talent and he has a huge mentality. He is so aggressive.

"He wants to become a good player. He has dreams and he has things he wants to do in the future in his career. That helps a lot.

"He wants to do something in the world of football and, of course, we are going to try to help him get it for us.

"He is a guy who attacks the goal and wants to score goals."
