At just 16 years of age Vinícius Junior is already causing a sensation as he tears through defences at the South American under-17 Championship in Chile.

The Flamengo teenager is the tournament's top scorer with five goals so far and some of his trickery and composure has drawn comparisons with Barcelona and Brazil star Neymar.

Scouts from most of Europe's top clubs are at the tournament looking for the next big thing and a bidding war could be on the horizon this summer.
