5 Brazilian wonderkids to look out for

Henrique could have a great career ahead of him

#2 Vitinho

Vitinho is one of Brazil’s brightest prospects

Vitinho was Brazil’s top scorer in the last South American U-15 Championship with seven goals and has already had a trial in the Premier League with Manchester City.

This gives Pep Guardiola’s side the first crack at him and thus the Etihad stadium club has a chance of bringing him to Europe when he turns 18 in a year’s time.

Viewed as one of many bright prospects at Corinthians, Vitinho has already made a name for himself, with both Brazil and his club. The 17-year-old has already won the U-17 Copa do Brazil, the U-20 Sao Paulo youth cup and was Brazil’s star during the U-15 South American Championships. The Guarulhos youngster, who is from a Corinthian family, started his career via futsal before finally reaching a Corinthians pitch.

He currently is the captain and wears the number 10 for the Brazil U-17 team and is regarded as the most skilful player of his age group. The youngster has time on his side to improve at home before coming to Europe to dazzle crowds.
