Gabriel Jesus has been finally given clearance to play for Manchester City and will be eligible to play in Saturday's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

Jesus, 19, joined City in a reported £27 million deal from Palmeiras in the summer but he remained with the Sao Paulo club on loan.

"I've watched [the Premier League] and I notice it's a very hard, intense style of play. I hope to adapt as quickly as possible," Jesus told City's official website. "I'm going to try to take it all in and adapt.

"I know it isn't going to be easy, but it only depends on me to put in the effort to adapt. I can't feel scared, being given an opportunity like this to change my life.

"There are more challenges and opportunities to change the lives of my family members, to give them opportunities, so I can't be scared of anything."
