Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel Fernando de Jesus was born 3 April 1997 and broke through at Palmeiras, where he earned Best Newcomer honors in 2015 and won the Bola de Ouro a year later as the club lifted its first national league title in over two decades. Manchester City paid £27 million for him in January 2017, and he spent five years collecting silverware - four Premier League trophies, three EFL Cups, an FA Cup. Arsenal brought him to north London for £45 million in July 2022, then Barcelona came calling. On the international side, he won Olympic gold in 2016, made his senior Brazil debut that September, and played at two World Cups while helping the Seleção win Copa América 2019. The goals and the trophies keep stacking, and he's still only in his twenties.
