Why Gabriel Jesus can succeed Sergio Aguero as Manchester City's leading man

Manchester City have produced some of the best football ever seen on these shores since Pep Guardiola's arrival, but with key players ageing and a 23-point deficit to new champions Liverpool, the time has come to rebuild a magnificent side.

One of those players who City must draw up a succession plan for is Sergio Aguero, one of the great goalscorers of the Premier League era and a club legend. With his wonderful array of finishes and ability to generate power from little or no back-lift, Aguero borders on irreplaceable.

While there will be calls for City to spend big money on a replacement, Gabriel Jesus is waiting in the wings and ready to step up in status. The Brazilian has been accused of lacking ruthlessness in front of goal and is not the cleanest striker of the ball, but he does fit Guardiola's specifications as a sharp, pressing forward.

Although he is yet to score more than 13 league goals in a single season, his underlying statistics are truly outstanding. Here is why I think he will score a stack of goals in the seasons to come.

here is my issue with the pen

yes, Digne did tap his foot (barely)

BUT

it had zero effect and Podence kept playing with ZERO effect to him, he took multiple little steps

THEN he delay dives

it is like he (after the fact) saw he was closed off now, so then tosses himself on the ground

there was no direct continuity to it at all

So basically, Wolves will be fifth and Chelsea 6th place if we continue like that.

if we lose to them, yes, I think that is a fair guess
