Look: Gabriel Jesus painted streets of Brazil ahead of 2014 World Cup

At 17 years old, Gabriel Jesus wasn't in the conversation for selection to the team that would represent the hosts ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Jesus was still more than two years away from making his senior debut, and almost three years away from joining Manchester City, when Brazil was in the midst of preparing to host international football's marquee event.

Part of those preparations included adding a little splash of colour to the streets of Brazil, with Jesus and his pals contributing a touch of their own artistic skills.

Jesus uploaded a series of photos showing himself painting the streets of Sao Paulo at a time when the prospect of a £27-million transfer to the Premier League was still a pipe dream.
