The 'next Neymar' is one hell of a label to live up to, but that is the tag that has been bestowed upon 16-year-old Palmeiras forward Endrick. The teenager continues to score in Brazil and is said to have attracted significant interest from the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal as well as European champions Real Madrid.
Endrick has burst onto the scene in the last few months after Palmeiras gave the 16-year-old his competitive league debut in October. Since then, he has made four appearances, scoring three times and grabbing one assist despite having only featured for a combined total of 181 minutes, according to transfermarkt.
Before a 4-0 victory for Palmeiras over Fortaleza, Endrick had only made substitute appearances but he was awarded his first start for his boyhood club, where he netted in the comfortable win that saw them clinch the Brazilian Serie A league title with three games to spare.
