Endrick has impressed scouts all across the globe with his stunning performances in the Copinha tournament. He has scored six goals in eight games in all competitions for Palmeiras so far this campaign.

Neymar has also been in dazzling form for PSG so far this campaign. In 13 games, the former Barcelona attacker has scored 11 goals and provided nine assistss.

Former Real Madrid and AC Milan superstar Kaka recently named Neymar Jr. as his current favorite player in the world. While talking to MARCA, here's what he said:

"I don't know if it's because we have a great personal relationship but I love how Neymar plays. Of course I like to see others like Mbappé, Messi, Cristiano or Vinicius himself, but I'll stick with 'Ney'."

While talking about the 2022 FIFA World Cup, set to start on November 20, he added:

"Neymar is going to be the leader of Brazil in Qatar 2022. But it is very important that he has players like Vinicius by his side. In the 2018 World Cup, 'Ney' was the absolute protagonist, but now we have 'Vini', Raphinha, Richarlison, Antony. ... Who are not young promises but realities."
