Description:
Palmeiras produced many brilliant talents in recent years such as Giovani, Gabriel Veron, Renan, Gabriel Silva, Gabriel Menino, and Danilo, but Endrick may be the best of them all. He regularly plays with much older players. Currently, he is one of the biggest stars of Palmeiras U-20 despite being only 15 and his first-team debut seems to be only a matter of time.

Endrick is probably the biggest talent to emerge in Brazil since Neymar in 2008.
Just look at Endrick for a few minutes and you can see what an extraordinary talent he has.
And when I say that, I don’t mean to belittle other players.
