#2 Vinícius Júnior
Age: 18
Club: Real Madrid CF
Nationality: Brazilian
Vinicius Junior is a fast, skilful forward who runs relentlessly at full-backs, latching on to balls and shooting or cutting inside to switch play. His strength makes him difficult to dispossess. He plays with his head up and can link with team-mates well.
He possesses a change of pace that baffles defenders and the ability to swiftly change direction draws numerous fouls. The fact that he can play on either wing or as a centre-forward is a testament to his versatility.
The 17-year old won the 2015 South American Under-15 Championship, where he netted 6 goals. After leading Brazil to victory at the Under-17 South American Championship, Vinicius was named the tournament's best player and was top goal scorer with 7 goals.
