Sergio Agüero backs Gabriel Jesus to succeed following Barcelona transfer

Gabriel Jesus joined Barcelona on transfer deadline day after departing Arsenal. The 29-year-old forward was signed by the Spanish club as an alternative to primary target Julián Alvarez, who remained unavailable. Despite concerns regarding his recent injury record, former Manchester City teammate Sergio Agüero expressed confidence in the move. Speaking on the Jijantes program, Agüero stated that the playing style utilized by manager Hansi Flick suits the forward. He projected that Jesus could score between 10 and 15 goals per season given the tactical similarities to his time under Pep Guardiola. Barcelona moved for Jesus after he fell out of the plans of manager Mikel Arteta at Arsenal earlier this summer.
