Gabriel Jesus lauds Manchester United transfer target Endrick as 'Brazilian phenomenon'

After observing Endrick train with his previous team Palmeiras, Arsenal and Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus labeled the Manchester United transfer target as a phenomenon.

Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa, known as Endrick Felipe or simply Endrick, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a striker for Campeonato Brasileiro U20 club Palmeiras.

The 16-year-old is presently one of the most sought-after young players in football, and both United and the Spanish powerhouses Real Madrid and Barcelona have shown interest in him.




The gifted player's agent, Frederico Pena, stated earlier this week that it was far too early to predict the future destination of his client, especially since he should turn 18 to be allowed to move out of Brazil.

So, currently, none of the teams has approached with a purchase offer for him. Until the age of 18, he must represent Palmeiras. He will thus continue to play for Palmeiras for at least another 22 months.

Gabriel Jesus, a former player for Palmeiras, predicts that whichever of the European superpowers is fortunate enough to eventually sign Endrick will be gaining a player of a generation.

In a recent interview, Gabriel Jesus said that he saw Endrick while training with Palmeiras for a few days and was quite impressed with the young player. He added that Endrick is only 15 years old yet already possesses expert abilities.

Gabriel Jesus declares that he is backing Endrick because he's a great talent. Endrick will need some time, however.
