Nigeria youngster, Kelechi Iheanacho, has used both arms in welcoming Manchester City new signing, Gabriel Jesus, to the club.
Jesus arrived in Manchester on Tuesday to begin his City career having signed from Palmeiras for a fee of £27million in the summer.
The Brazilian striker is expected to battle the Super Eagles youngster for a place in Pep Guardiola’s squad.
However, Iheanacho who has thus far contributed six goals in just 16 appearances this season is looking forward to playing alongside the 19-year-old and insists the team comes first.
“I’m going to be happy to see him playing with us,” Iheanacho said in an interview with Manchester Evening News on Wednesday.
“He’s a great kid, he’s a great striker, and he has great qualities. What we need is to help our club. We need everybody, both the people coming in and the people here, to carry the team along.
“It’s a collective effort. It’s not a one-man show, we need everybody around. He is my team-mate now so we see him as one.
“The manager needs to bring his players to help us achieve our dreams this season.”
The pair might be considered this Friday when City face West Ham United in the FA Cup Third Round.
