Gabriel Jesus' progress since leaving Palmeiras for Manchester City a year ago has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Little wonder, then, that some have sought to draw comparisons with the last great Brazil No.9 to make that adjective his own.

That's lofty company to keep, but what does the player himself make of the comparison? And do team-mates and opponents see the similarities?
