FIFA 17 Career Mode: 25 Wonderkids You Will Need To Sign
17. Gabriel Barbosa - Santos
Santos have a fearsome reputation when it comes to developing fantastic youth prospects, and Gabriel Barbosa could well be the latest. His nickname, 'Gabigol', should give away the young Brazilian's role in the team.
Like Neymar before him, Gabriel seems to have developed a superstar reputation ahead of time. Although a future move to Europe surely beckons, the 19 year old is already more than confident. He has a tendency to be slightly outspoken on occasion - last year stating "Neymar's story is done; I should have mine".
Should he back up such cockiness, it's doubtful that any employers will mind. The striker has an incredible thirst for goal, and plays with a dogged tenacity whether up front on his own, or drifting inside from the right.
