Ronaldinho tips wonderkid Gabriel Jesus to win World Best accolade

Ronaldinho believes Manchester City superkid Gabriel Jesus will be the world's next great player.

He says City's £27million signing from Palmeiras will replace Lionel Messi as the "best player in the world" one day.

"Manchester City have a very special player with Gabriel Jesus," Ronaldinho told the Mirror.

"Maybe even, in the future, the best player in the world.

At the moment it is Messi. I have always said I think one day it will be Neymar.

'But at 19, in the future, it can be Gabriel. He has all the abilities to make that happen."
