GABRIEL JESUS looks destined to become a world superstar — but will NEVER forget the place where it all began for him.
As exclusively revealed by SunSport in February, the Manchester City forward has a tattoo of Jardim Peri — the favela where he was raised and first kicked a ball — on his forearm.

In the past, he has claimed he would love to bring the whole of his neighbourhood over to Manchester with him as it is so close to his heart.
And the 20-year-old Jesus said: “My tattoo is the place where I was born and raised.
“I grew up there, I learnt lots of things there and I made my first steps to make my dream of becoming a football player come true.
