The skilful forward topped the goalscoring charts in the Under-17 Copa Rio with Flamengo, a tournament closely monitored by Europe's big guns. 2012 saw the 17-year-old's name in headlines across Brazil after he scored 72 goals in 53 matches, but Douglas insists his next plan of action excludes capitalising on interest from Europe:
