Brazilian chief likens Chelsea target to Cristiano Ronaldo amid Real Madrid transfer prediction

Chelsea target Endrick has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo by the director of Palmeiras' youth setup. The 16-year-old has been heavily linked with a number of Europe's top sides lately as he continues to impress for the Brazilian side.

The teenage sensation has featured seven times for Palmeiras this season, directly contributing towards four goals. Last month, he broke a 106-year record to become the club's youngest-ever goal scorer after finding the net in a Serie A clash against Athletico Paranaense.
