Pedro is yet another young player on this list, and this list is a sample of the talent present in the South American country. Pedro has been sensational for Fluminense over the last 2 years. He has been linked with a move to some of Europe's elite clubs including Manchester United. This is certainly a good indication of the talent he possesses.

The 21-year-old could have made his national debut last year after being called up by Tite for a couple of friendlies. However, he couldn't take part due to injury concerns and was replaced by Richarlison. Last season, he scored 12 goals and assisted twice in just 23 games. However, his season was cut-short due to an injury.

However, he has returned with a bang as he has scored 3 goals in 5 appearances for his club. The centre-forward has been called up by Brazil for the Toulon Tournament. However, they might want to pull him out of that tournament and draft him in for the Copa America.
