Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson rates Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus ahead of teammate Erling Haaland in two ways.

Ex-City star Jesus is weeks away from returning for the Prem leaders after surgery - while Haaland has hit 26 league goals for Pep Guardiola's second-placed side.

City keeper and Jesus' Brazil team-mate Ederson told UEFA: "When [Haaland] arrived, we said he was going to score a lot and that's been happening

"He is a brilliant goalscorer, he always looks to score and help the team.

"He is the striker we needed because in comparison to Gabriel (Jesus), they are different players: Gabi likes to come in from out wide, he is stronger and more versatile; Haaland plays more centrally, looking to get into the box, he is a target in the area.

"That has been the major difference. When you get into the final third you have someone who will always be in the area."
