GABRIEL JESUS has made an immediate impact since his arrival at Manchester City.
The Brazilian wonderkid, 19, has played just four games, but in that time has scored three times - including a game-winning double against Swansea, tallied two assists and even taken Sergio Aguero's starting spot... no mean feat, indeed.
However, during that last-gasp 2-1 win over the struggling Swans last weekend, the world was left to ponder what Jesus' celebration was referring to.

The teenager netted the winner in the dying moments to send the Etihad crowd into raptures, only to run off towards the corner flag with a phone gesture held to his ear.
Ever since, supporters have been desperately trying to figure out the deeper meaning to the celebration.
A whole host of rumours begun circling on social media, with no one quite sure what to believe.
One of the theories doing the rounds on social media was that Jesus was having a dig at his ex-girlfriend.
The story went that the youngster's former flame ignored his calls while he was at Palmeiras, but messaged him when he arrived Manchester City.
However, the Brazilian has finally admitted all, really sending a loving message to his mum.
In an Instagram post, Jesus posted a picture of the now-famous celebration, captioned: "Hello Mum. I love you."
Jesus linked up with City in January - having agreed a deal last summer - following just two seasons in the Brazilian top flight with Palmeiras, where he netted 28 goals in 83 appearances.
