Neilton Atacante 'Next Neymar'?
He plays for Santos Juniors, he's Brazilian and he even looks a bit like Neymar. Neilton is a 19 year old forward who has similar attributes to Neymar, high aggression, very skillful and quite fast. He either plays in strike, center forward or on either wing. He made a name for himself after he scored a fantastic hatrick in a 3-2 win in the semi finals in the Copa Sao Paulo under 19s' tournament.
It is understood that Chelsea and Manchester United are closely watching the progression of this future star. The 19 year old has £5 million pound buy-out clause though Santos are fighting to not let him leave for so cheap, however, with the likes of Roman Abramavich and Sir Alex Ferguson watching him it seems his future is already being fought over as we speak. Though there is not much known about Neilton, its very likely we will be seeing him in the Premier League in the next few years, that's only if Santos can hold on to him!Nielton's hatrick showed glimpses of whats to come if he ever does arrive in the Premier League. The pace and technical ability shown, is very similar to that used by Neymar.
