There have been countless kids who were dubbed to be the 'next Messi' over the years however, many of them failed to live up to that billing. Arat however, seems to be the real deal if his Instagram and YouTube videos are anything to go by.
Like Messi, he is left-footed, boasts a bag full of tricks, and loves the number 10.
It is little wonder that the kid boasts more than three million followers on Instagram who are privy to his tricks, flicks and workout drills on a daily basis.
When pitted against kids his own age, the diminutive Arat stands out and often leaves his compatriots in his gaze.
