Brazilian wonderkid Endrick is a youngster in demand by the biggest clubs in Europe.
The 16-year-old is attracting huge interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea, and has been deemed as the next Neymar.
According to the Evening Standard, Endrick has had ‘several’ meetings with Chelsea over a potential move to Stamford Bridge.
Despite all of Chelsea’s moves, the 16-year-old admitted his admiration for Real Madrid talisman Karim Benzema, and also fellow Brazilian Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.
In an interview with the EFE agency, as quoted by Goal, Endrick said: “Benzema, [Robert] Lewandowski, Vinicius Jr and Raphinha are high-class players that I try to watch to learn from them.”
He also said: “I think he [Vinicius] will conquer the world and that in this World Cup (in Qatar) he will be one of the best.
“He will make an extraordinary duo with Neymar. I never imagined having a friendship with Vini because he is someone I only see on television and I hope we can have a lasting friendship.”
