Gabriel Jesus has admitted that he is desperate to continue his hot scoring streak for Manchester City after learning from one of the best in Sergio Aguero.
The 20-year-old has netted seven goals for the Citizens so far in his first full campaign at the club, including a brace in the 7-2 thrashing of Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.
Former Palmeiras striker Jesus is also enjoying himself at international level with Brazil right now, scoring a brace in the 3-0 win against Chile earlier this week in the Selecao's successful World Cup qualifying campaign, and he is hopeful that there is more to come for both club and country.
"I live for goals and just want to score as many as possible. It's great to score goals in the Brazil national team shirt, but I also love doing it in City colours, too," he told the Manchester Evening News. "I am enjoying this great moment in my life. I had an injury last season but that didn't stop me.
"My team and management really helped me, and they have been great for me in my time in England. I learn a lot from Sergio every day, but not just him – I learn from all the team. We learn with each other – I pass on my knowledge to them, and they give theirs to me, so it's an exchange.
"I value our strong relationship off the pitch. We have such a strong connection outside the pitch, and we take it onto the pitch. It is the best way to work. We are very young and have quality, so that points to success in the future."
Aguero and Raheem Sterling are level with Jesus on seven goals apiece for Premier League leaders City in 2017-18.
