Gabriel Jesus has signed a two-year contract extension with Manchester City.
It keeps him at the club until 2023.
The Brazilian striker, who joined City in January 2017, has scored 24 goals in 53 games during his first 18 months at the club and has now committed to a further five years at the Etihad.
Having lifted the Premier League title and Carabao Cup during the 2017-18 campaign, the 21-year-old concluded his first full season with City by scoring a 94th minute winner on the final day to ensure Pep Guardiola’s side became the first team in Premier League history to reach 100 points.
Gabriel Jesus said: "I would like to thank the fans for the welcome and for how well they have treated me.
“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.
"Also thanks to the Club for being so organised and focused since I arrived. Pep had an important role in my signing, but also the Club.
“City is a huge Club and it is getting bigger and bigger so I just want to say thanks for everything. I hope that I can keep making the fans happy."
Director of Football Txiki Begiristain added: “Gabriel is undoubtedly one of the best young forwards in world football, so to have him commit his future to us is a huge boost.
“There’s so much variety in his game. I know how much Pep enjoys working with him and I am really looking forward to watching his development in the coming years.
