Gabriel Jesus looks like he's ready for the physicality of the Premier League if his recent bust up in Brazilis anything to go by.
The strikeris set to join up with Manchester City in Januaryhaving signed for the club for an estimated £28m in the summer.
The 19-year-old is currently seeing out his final games with Palmeiras and made headlines after becoming involved in heated exchange with AtleticoMineiro'sLeandro Donizete during a Serie A match.
As thescuffle unfolded, Donizete is supposed to haveslapped the Brazilianin the face, but whilst it appeared to be a case of handbags on the pitch, Gabriel came out fighting during an interview after the match.
The soon-to-be City star told reporters (as quoted by theMirror):"The first time he came near me in the game, he hit me in the face.
"I didn't get the chance to tell him not to do that. After that, I went to break up a tangle and he did it again.I told him it was not a very manly thing to do, and that he was an a**hole.

"Sorry for swearing, but hitting someone in the face? No one likes that. I told him it was unnecessary.
"I don't want to judge him, but I'm 19 years old and he's the one behaving like a child.�
Strong words indeed, but at least Gabriel can take solace from the fact that he ended his six match goal drought, during the 1-1 draw.
