'He has what the number nine would smell': Thierry Henry has already explained what Jesus can provide to Chelsea

Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Gabriel Jesus. The Manchester City striker wants to leave the Premier League champions and could be on the move to London.

Thierry Henry, arguably the Premier League's best forward ever, has given his stamp of approval to Jesus as he explains what makes the Brazilian a great striker.

The former Arsenal man told CBS Sports back in April: "What he can give offensively to the team [is something I really like]. We saw that he scored four goals at the weekend [vs Watford].

"When he is in the box, he's one of the three that is playing, or since [Sergio] Aguero left, he has that [number] nine instinct. He has what the number nine would smell.

"What I like with him is that he puts pressure, whether it's on the left, on the right or in the middle. He doesn't have a problem to defend in those situations by coming back and helping his team."

Jesus has scored 95 goals in 236 appearances for City, scoring eight times in 28 Premier League games last season. Chelsea are yet to launch an official bid for the player.
