Endrick

Country: Brazil

Age: 18

Club: Real Madrid CF

Scouting report

Désiré Doué  

Country: France

Age: 19

Club: Paris Saint-Germain

Scouting report

During a rough spell for Paris in Europe, substitute Doué’s talents helped reinvigorate their campaign as he finished a slick team move against Salzburg with aplomb. Blistering pace, agility and creativity are just some of the qualities that have earned him comparisons to his idol Neymar.
