Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has warned fans and players to not get 'too excited' over the prospect of new signing Gabriel Jesus.
The 19-year Brazilian forward arrived in January and has made an instant impact, scoring three times, including a clinical brace in Sunday's win against Swansea.
But Toure is keen to ensure that the youngster is not burdened with too much expectation so soon in his career.

He is a very good player. He's very quick, sharp and clever," Toure toldthe official Manchester City website.
We realise we have to be careful, though, and we shouldn't get too excited because he has to be focused.What we want to do is just continue to keep going and at the end of the season we can talk about him.
We have to keep focused because we have important games coming up and we have to be ready for that as well.�
Toure also reserved praise for some of the other talented youngsters at the club, including the likes of Leroy Sane who has impressed in recent weeks.
We need to have young players because City are always a team who wants to win the league," he added.The mentality of the club is to try to get new players in and try to do as best as possible.When you see [Kevin] De Bruyne, [David] Silva, Jesus, Sane, and Raheem playing well, you realise we have a great squad with some young players.
Now, with the quality of players we have, we just have to perform well."
