Rodrygo is one of the many young talents to have come out of Brazil in recent times. The 18-year-old plays for Santos in the Brazilian Serie A. He will move to Real Madrid for the 2019/20 season after being bought for a rumoured €40 million. Rodrygo Goes is a pacy left winger and can bring about an element of mystery in the Brazilian squad. He is an excellent dribbler is a creative player.

This season, he has already scored once and assisted twice in 4 games. Last season, he scored 9 goals and assisted thrice in 43 games for Santos. He is a regular for the Brazil U20 side for whom he has scored thrice and assisted once in 10 games. The youngster can also play as centre-forward if needed, and can thrive on home soil for the senior team.
