Danilo

Danilo is a young Brazilian I'm genuinely excited to track. Born in 2001 in Salvador, Bahia, the 177 cm midfielder has worked his way to Botafogo and into the Brazil national team, which is no small thing in the most cutthroat talent pool in world football. Coming out of Salvador, the cradle of samba and capoeira, I'd wager rhythm and close control are practically in his bloodstream. Breaking into the Seleção's midfield this early signals the real deal. How high his ceiling climbs remains an open question, but I'll be watching closely to find out.
