Gabriel Jesus reveals new tattoo as Man City ace celebrates stunning start to season

The 20-year-old striker - who netted his eight goal of the season against Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday - has an array on unique tattoos all over his body

MANCHESTER CITY striker Gabriel Jesus has celebrated his side's 2-1 victory over Napoli by adding another tattoo to his elaborate collection.

The Brazilian - who was on the score sheet for the eight time this season at the Etihad on Tuesday evening - showed he truly holds the cards after getting four aces inked on his left wrist.

Pep Guardiola's men held on for the win at Eastlands despite the best efforts of the Serie A side, who pulled a goal back through Amadou Diawara in the 73rd minute.

Jesus - who has been a revelation since joining the Citizens from Palmeiras - got the tattoo underneath a huge portrait of his mother's face.

The 20-year-old lives with mum Vera Lucia Diniz de Jesus, and even has a goal celebration dedicated to her, where he imitates a phone call.

There has been no reason given for Jesus' latest tattoo, with his previous ones all having a specific meaning.

He said previously: "I have four and all of them represent me a little bit.

"One is for faith, the other ones are one of Jardim Peri, where I was born and grew up with the dream of being a football player.

'The other completes the image of the neighbour of my childhood. The last one is the quote of my mom.

"I intend to have more tattoos about my career in the future."

Manchester City have been in inspired form this season - as they sit top of the Premier League with seven wins from eight matches - scoring 29 goals.

They have conceded just a mere four goals - two against Stoke - and one against both Everton and Bournmouth.

Guardiola's men have kept clean sheets against Chelsea and Liverpool, and sit comfortably at the top of Group F in the Champions League.
