Gabriel Jesus may be living the high life after emerging as one of the most exciting young strikers in world football, but the Manchester City star's humble beginnings are still fresh in the memory.

Standing barefoot on a cobbled street in Sao Paulo, a 17-year-old Jesus was just another youngster dreaming of playing in the yellow shirt of Brazil. He was, like many, preparing for the World Cup to come to his homeland.

In a series of photos posted on his social media account, the diminutive forward revealed he was helping to paint the streets of his neighbourhood in patriotic colours in preparation for the tournament just three years ago.

He would have watched the World Cup play out on television with Brazil making their way to the semi-final before a crushing 7-1 defeat by Germany in Belo Horizonte.

Little would he have guessed that he would be favourite to lead the line when the Selecao have another crack at winning their sixth World Cup in Russia just four years later.

Indeed, so much has changed for Jesus in the time between these photos and the present day. Then, he was just a youth player for local professional side Palmeiras and earning the modest sum of just £3,500 a year.

Soon after, his talents would be recognised and he would be thrust into the senior squad only for Manchester City's South American scouting network to take notice and alert a certain Pep Guardiola.

A £27million move to the Etihad was agreed in August 2016 with his move going through the following January. He signed a five-year deal with the Citizens worth £75,000 a week, although his mother recently revealed she still controls his wage and hands him pocket money each month.

It was clear Manchester City had a major star on their hands when Jesus inspired Brazil to the first Olympic gold medal in their history, scoring three goals in six games to help to heal the damage caused by that devastating World Cup defeat.

Now a fully-fledged Brazil international, Jesus has four goals in six caps for Tite's Brazil side and will go to the World Cup next summer if he stays fit.


He is also set to push seasoned star Sergio Aguero all the way for a starting spot in Manchester City's line-up next season.

Many people in south-eastern Nigeria have stayed at home today to mark the 50th anniversary of the declaration of the breakaway state of Biafra.
Schools and buses were shut in many areas - including Enugu, which was at the epicentre of the failed campaign to create the breakaway state.
The BBC's Abdussalam Ibrahim Ahmed spoke to several of the city's residents about the stayaway:
The people willingly decided to sit at home to show respect for the people who died during the war. They are mourning them."
Amuche Regis 
Biafra is a movement which cannot be killed by any government. Biafra has come to stay, whether you like it or not. People who are agitating now were not born during the war. Their fathers told them what happened. They lost their grandparents"
Chukwuma Okereigwe
Today's sit at home has spoken volumes of the annoyance of the youth with the federal government. It shows people are no longer happy. Something must be done to get the whole thing settled before it get out of hand."
Jones Udeh
Nigerians should sit down and look at our relationship for a union to find out how to make it work. Right now, it is not working."
