#3 Vinicius Junior - Flamengo (Brazilian Serie A)

The Brazilian wonderboy might have caused a lot of ripples in world media with his upcoming move to Real Madrid, but Vinicius is still a key player in the Flamengo squad, playing in the Brazilian League and if reports are to be believed, he might even be loaned back to the Brazilian outfit for when his first year of contract begins with Los Blancos.

Vinicius is expected to dazzle with his performances in the World Cup

Vinicius is the star man in this Brazilian U17 squad and already has fans and critics gaping wide with his performances for both club and country. The boy from Rio has already gone into double figures with his goal tally this season and is yet to join the rest of the national team who have already arrived in India for the FIFA U17 World Cup because his club still needs him for the final cup games. A future star for whom this World Cup could very well be the platform for greatness.
