Pep Guardiola suggested Manchester City's signing of Gabriel Jesus was like buying a watermelon.
The Brazil international was one of the most sought-after talents in world football after impressing in his homeland with Palmeiras and City pulled off a coup by completing his signing in August before he officially joined in January.
"You never know, it is like a watermelon, you have to open and see if it is good or not," Guardiola was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"The perspective was good. He is a young talent and he has a huge mentality. He is so aggressive.
"He wants to become a good player. He has dreams and he has things he wants to do in the future in his career. That helps a lot.
"He wants to do something in the world of football and, of course, we are going to try to help him get it for us.
"He is a guy who attacks the goal and wants to score goals."
