Endrick - The Teenage Dream: Have Brazil Found their Next Big Poster Boy?

The 17-year-old was a substitute in both of Brazil's friendlies against England and Spain. But this didn't stop the youngster from coming on a scoring against both sides. Endrick's goal against England gave Brazil a 1-0 win at the famous Wembley Stadium.

To add to this, the younster scored another goal in the 3-3 draw against Spain which was even more special. Playing at the Santiago Bernabeu, Endrick scored just five minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute for Brazil.
