Watch out, Lewy – Barca Brazilian dream‘s en route & striking his way to stardom

Xavi can't stop when it comes to integrating generational La Masia talents into his Barcelona team at the moment, but it's a Brazilian export who appears to be next in line.

It feels like we can't go a week in football at the moment without Barcelona freakishly spawning in another youth prospect, capable of either scoring worldies for fun, making defenders look silly or gliding around the pitch with the ball seemingly bolted to their boots.

The emergence of Lamine Yamal appears to have set off a violent chain reaction around the club, with the likes of Fermin Lopez and Marc Guiu both bursting onto the scene as of late and looking like world beaters in the making.

But while Guiu looks like he's got the tools to step up in attack and lead the line for Barcelona as Robert Lewandowski fades out of the picture, he faces stiff competition – from an absolute freak of nature who's already the prince of Brazilian football.

It doesn't have to be a competition, though. There's room for two of the top, and if Barca can figure that out, a combination of Guiu and young Vitor Roque might just spell the end for just about every other side in Europe.

Roque, aged just 18, is headed to La Blaugrana in January and he's arriving not only with the ambition of dethroning Lewandowski, but stealing a march on fellow Brazilian Endrick, who will join Real Madrid in 2024.

Despite barely being old enough to legally purchase Grand Theft Auto, young Roque has already made just shy of 100 senior appearances and has 34 senior goals to his name, with 13 assists to supplement those already freakish statistics.

Earning full international honours for Brazil back in March and becoming the Selecao's youngest ever debutant, 2023 has proven a brilliant year for Roque,
