Never heard of the kid, who is supposedly the "new Neymar".
From the Mirror online:
Brazilian's latest wonder-kid Victor Andrade catches eye of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City

The 17-year-old says: “I think it will be a great education for me. Everybody around the world knows about the strength of the Premier League"
The new wonder-kid of Brazilian football wants to play in Europe – and that has alerted top sides in the Premier League.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are all aware of the talents of 17-year-old Victor Andrade who is already a first team regular at Santos.
His contract runs out at the end of the season and he has made it clear that he will not sign a new deal. That makes him available at a bargain price of less than £2.5 million – the development fee Santos will receive.
Andrade has been labelled the ‘New Neymar’ as he bids to follow in the footsteps of the Brazil star who has joined Barcelona for £57million.
And Andrade is now keen to move to Europe and follow in the footsteps of his godfather Robinho. There will be no work permit issues because he qualifies for Portuguese citizenship through his mother’s side of the family.
And Andrade insists that he wants a move to Europe sooner rather than later.
“Quite simply, I would love to play in Europe,” said Andrade. “My godfather Robinho has told me of the great experiences he had at Real Madrid, Manchester City and AC Milan. He told me how it made him a better player because playing in Europe means you must adapt to different styles and systems.
“I think it will be a great education for me. Everybody around the world knows about the strength of the Premier League.
“And many Brazilian players have done well when they have played in England. Players like David Luiz and Oscar at Chelsea and now Paulinho has gone to Tottenham to play
alongside Sandro.
“It is a very exciting prospect for me. My dream is to play for Brazil in the World Cup and I believe that moving to Europe will help me because it will help my all-round game.
“I have no problem with Santos. They have helped me a lot. But I think the time is right for me to experience a change.”
