5 youngsters to shine in the 2017 Toulon Tournament

#5 Marquinhos Cipriano (Sao Paulo, Brazil)

Brazil have drafted a young squad to take to France for this tournament. Although players born in 1997 are permitted, they have elected to carry instead of a squad of youngsters all born in 1999 in order to best prepare for South American championships of 2019, which can bring about Olympic qualification.

As a result, their panel really is stuffed full of players who are largely unknown now but harbour hopes of becoming the next Neymar. Among those are Marquinhos, a tall winger with a long stride but relentless movement. He has said that he models his game on Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura, who was at Sao Paulo before moving to Europe. Marquinhos, though, has shown that he has a greater eye for goal, and that could be vital for a team more inexperienced than any other in this tournament.
