The teenager is a left-footed attacker who is comfortable playing across the frontline, with his uncle, Roberto de Assis Moreira, believed to be overseeing his career.
His dad, a 2002 FIFA World Cup winner, rose to fame during his five-year spell at Barcelona between 2003 and 2008, during which he won the 2006 UEFA Champions League and two league titles.
