Former Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero is tipping Gabriel Jesus to score plenty of goals this season after seeing the Brazilian complete a move to the Camp Nou from Arsenal.
Aguero and Jesus played together at Manchester City, and the Argentina international thinks the new signing will be a big hit in Catalunya.
“Gabriel Jesus can bring a lot to Barça,” he told Jijantes. “Pep used him when we needed a more forward striker and he had a very clear role. Flick has a similar style.
“In the Premier League
it’s really tough to score goals, it’s very complicated. I think he can easily score 10 or 15 goals per season.”
Aguero is also backing Rodri – another ex-Manchester City man – to thrive at Barcelona following his summer transfer.
“Barça will enjoy Rodrigo,” he added. “He plays very simply and positions himself very well, he plays as a team, he backs up well… He anticipates the play. It’s not the same watching him on TV as it is on the field.”
Rodri has already made his debut for Barcelona but fans will now look forward to seeing Jesus in Blaugrana for the first time shortly.
Barca are back in action on Sunday against Valencia in La Liga.
