Feb 2 (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola feels he might have unearthed a gem of a player in Gabriel Jesus after the young striker's virtuoso display in Wednesday's 4-0 Premier League win at West Ham United. Jesus is a fighter with instinct for the goal," Guardiola told British media. Jesus' rise might have come at a cost for Sergio Aguero, who was benched on Wednesday despite being fit, but Guardiola said the explosive Argentine striker remained firmly part of his plans. He knows and everyone knows we cannot succeed without his contributions," Guardiola added. City, who are fifth in the league after 23 games, 10 points behind leaders Chelsea, host relegation-threatened Swansea City, in 17th, on Sunday.
