Manchester City have signed 19-year-old Brazilian winger Gabriel Jesus from Palmeiras for £27m plus add-ons.
Jesus has agreed a five-year deal but will stay with Palmeiras until the end of the Brazilian season in December.
City regard the player as the best young talent in South America and fought off interest from Barcelona.
Jesus was voted the best newcomer in the Brazilian top flight last season and is part of his country’s squad at the Rio Olympics.
He is yet to make his senior international debut.
Jesus is capable of playing across the forward line and further boosts new manager Guardiola’s attacking options following Tuesday’s £37m capture of Germany international Leroy Sane from Schalke.
Guardiola has now spent around £100m on players so far this summer.
