The Premier League champions put out the following clip noting the Brazil international's extension: Jesus arrived at City in January 2017 and made an immediate impact in English football. Last season, he was a key part of the record-breaking side that coasted to the title, amassing a record 100 points in the process. While he missed a spell of the 2017-18 campaign through injury, Jesus still managed to get on the scoresheet 17 times in all competitions. He also helped City win the Carabao Cup in the same campaign. "I would like to thank the fans for the welcome and for how well they have treated me," he told the club's official website after the deal was confirmed. "I can say that it was the best decision I've made in my life to come to Manchester City because whilst I'm here I'm improving as a professional and as a person." OLI SCARFF/Getty Images Since arriving at City, the Selecao star has been a massive influence on the team: Video Play Button Videos you might like Jesus is typically in competition with Sergio Aguero for a spot in the starting XI under Pep Guardiola, with the latter arguably one of the greatest players ever to play for the Manchester outfit. While Aguero may still have the edge over Jesus in terms of finishing, the Brazilian brings many positive attributes to the point of the attack. The way he presses, stretches defenders and drops off to find space make him such a difficult man to pin down. There are still things for the 21-year-old to learn at this point in his career. He struggled for Brazil at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia: Still, you sense the youngster is ready to have a memorable campaign, especially if he can avoid the injury issues that have blemished his previous two. Aguero entered his 30s earlier this summer, so more responsibility will fall on Jesus in this season and throughout the duration of his contract. If he can make some adjustments and become more ruthless in front of the net, the supply line of Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane should ensure the goals flow for the Brazilian at the Etihad Stadium for years to come.<doc-sep>Manchester City announce new Gabriel Jesus contract with brilliant video He has extended his contract until 2023 Gabriel Jesus has renewed his contract with Manchester City, extending his stay at the club until 2023.

He build on that last season, racking up twenty goals while sharing the responsibility of leading the line with Sergio Agüero, playing alongside the Argentine only on occasion. City boss Pep Guardiola is a huge fan of the Brazilian, for his energy, link up play and finishing ability. He is perfectly suited to the style of football that Guardiola has instilled at City, so it should come as no surprise that City have secured his long term future at the Etihad. The news of his new deal, as it must these days, came with an inventive announcement video. City tweeted from their official account a video of Jesus speaking to his mother, who is back home in Brazil, via FaceTime. During the call she says that "This season is going to be amazing because you are the man!" She also asks her son to send a kiss to Guardiola, the man in no small part responsible for Jesus' rise to prominence.

The Brazil international returned to training on Tuesday after being given an extended holiday following the World Cup.

"I would like to thank the fans for the welcome and for how well they have treated me," said Jesus. "I can say that it was the best decision I've made in my life to come to Manchester City because whilst I'm here I'm improving as a professional and as a person.

City manager Pep Guardiola has tended to alternate Jesus with Sergio Aguero in his preferred formation which features a lone striker.
