The 18-year-old is widely regarded as one of the biggest talents to come out of Brazil in recent years, with clubs all over the world reportedly interested in acquiring the player with so much potential this summer.

The record has since been broken by Endrick who is just as much a talent as his Brazilian counterpart, as he now plays for Real Madrid in Spain.
Despite only turning 18 in December, Gabriel already has 129 senior appearances to his name in what has been a fast start to his career.
The Brazilian Under-20 international has been struggling for form of late however and appeared mostly off the bench for Santos towards the end of the season.
New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino could be the man to turn Gabriel’s form around however, with the Blues boss looking to shape a new team for his debut season at Stamford Bridge.
