The 15-year-old Brazilian boy playing for Sao Paulo scored his first league goal, but it's his name that attracts the attention
You surely remember the story of an 11-year-old Kenyan wunderkind Leo Messo who joined Arsenal last year to, hopefully, fulfil his dreams of becoming a professional football just like his famous almost-namesake.

Well, this story resembles a bit, and it's also connected with Arsenal and the Gunners legend, Thierry Henry.
Apparently, a 15-year-old Brazilian called Thierry Henry Santos Souza is making his way through the youth setups of giants Sao Paulo. The talented kid who was named after the mercurial French forward scored his first ever league goal for Sao Paulo's U17 side against Deportivo Sao Carlense.

Tall (192cm!) and fast centre-forward.
One of the most interesting youngsters in Cotia - the famous São Paulo youth academy.

His physical abilities - 192cm tall and fast - seem spectacular, and we can't help but think of his much-praised namesake. At least it won't be difficult to remember the boy's name in years to come...
