Erling Haaland prospect poses Gabriel Jesus the ultimate Man City transfer question

As Erling Haaland's prospective move to Manchester City edges closer, there's no doubt Gabriel Jesus will have a massive question to answer in the summer, with his contract set to expire in 15 months’ time.

Haaland – who has 80 goals in 79 Borussia Dortmund appearances – is one of the hottest prospects in Europe and has attracted the attention of several suitors.

All signs point to the Norwegian becoming a City player next season, but if it happens that will lead to a few questions being asked of some of the current crop of stars – including Jesus.
