Tottenham Hotspur star Richarlison has heaped praise on Palmeiras wonderkid Endrick amid rumours Spurs want to sign him.

The 16-year-old has become a household name in Brazil recently. He’s tipped by many people to follow the likes of Neymar to superstardom, and the whole world is watching him at the moment.

Richarlison is really impressed.

Endrick has started three games for Palmeiras’ youth team this season and has scored six goals. He’s still only 16, but some of Europe’s biggest teams are said to be keeping an eye on him already, including Tottenham.

Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola revealed that Spurs want to sign Endrick, while the BBC claimed that Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City among many other clubs are interested as well.

Mundo Deportivo recently claimed that Palmeiras are ready to let him leave but only if their asking price of £62 million is met. EU Rules, however, prohibit the signing of players outside the continent until they are 18 years old. (HITC)

That’s probably why Richarlison has predicted that Endrick will be in Europe in two years’ time. He heaped praise on the youngster and even compared him to Adriano.

When asked about young players who have impressed him, he told Copa90: “I think Endrick, he’s playing in Palmeiras.

“Yeah, he’s very strong, same as Adriano. Good player, I watch him play in the national team. I think in two years, he’ll be playing in Europe.”

Endrick is arguably the best player of his age in Brazil at the moment, and he has the potential to become a superstar in just a few years’ time.

Real Madrid have shown with Vinicius Jr that a young player from Brazil can come to Europe and set the stage on fire. The Galacticos will surely be keeping an eye on Endrick as well, but he will not be short of offers.

Multiple big clubs from across Europe are reportedly tracking Endrick. It seems like everyone’s convinced he’ll be a star in future, and it’s only a matter of time before he gets that big move.

It will be interesting to see where Endrick will end up, but if Tottenham really want him, they should start working on it ASAP.
