Lions' new signing, Gabriel Jesus, is set to make his professional debut for the club in a match against Lyon on Saturday night.
The Brazilian winger has been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium and has been linked with a move to Manchester United as well as Real Madrid.
However, Lions boss Roberto Martinez believes that he will be the ideal replacement for the injured striker and that he will add much-needed depth to their squad.
In his first appearance for the club, Jesus showed great pace and dribbling skills, which were evident in his goal celebrations during the match. He also made a number of important passes throughout the game, helping the team to keep the ball moving at high speeds.
Martinez was pleased with the performance of his new signing and said: "I think Gabriel is going to bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our squad. I'm sure he'll play a big part in our success this season."
Jesus has already impressed with his performances at the club, scoring two goals in his three appearances so far and contributing to the team's goals tally. He is likely to continue playing in the team's lineup and help the team to improve their attacking options.
However, it remains to be seen how effective he will be in his first match for the club. The team will need to work hard to get him into the starting line-up and ensure that he can provide the required support to the team's attack.
Overall, Lions fans should be excited about the prospect of seeing Gabriel Jesus in action for them for the first time. With his speed and agility, he has the potential to become one of the best players in the league and help the team to achieve success this season.
