Rayan

Rayan is one of the most talked-about teenagers in South American football, a winger who broke through at Vasco da Gama with the kind of directness and confidence that immediately drew comparisons to Brazil's long line of attacking prodigies. Still only 19 and now at Bournemouth, he is at the very beginning of his European education, but his inclusion in Brazil's World Cup picture reflects how highly the Seleção's setup rates his potential. Raw in the technical details that elite football demands but genuinely dangerous in one-on-one situations, he is a high-ceiling option that Brazil's coaches are clearly willing to invest in early.
