City has agreed a five-year contract with the Palmeiras winger believed to be worth £27 million ($36 million).

There are also add-ons which could total £4 million ($5.3 million), depending on his Premiership performance next season - but he will not join the club until after December.

In a press release from City announcing the signing, Jesus said:

"Manchester City is one of the best clubs in the world so I'm really pleased to sign. We have many great talents in the team and a fantastic manager in Pep Guardiola that I can learn so much from. I'm looking forward to showing the City fans what I can do and I think we'll have a great future together!"
