Endrick has impressed in the Copinha tournament so far this season. In 13 games, he has scored nine goals and provided one assist. The youngster has now heaped praise on the trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe. He told So Foot (via Hadrien Grenier):

“Neymar is a player I really like! I like watching PSG, Mbappé is very strong. Messi and Marquinhos are top-class players. I love watching them for inspiration!"
🗣️ Endrick à So Foot : « Neymar est un joueur que j’aime beaucoup ! J’aime regarder le PSG, Mbappé est très fort. Messi et Marquinhos sont des joueurs de grande classe. J’adore les regarder pour m’inspirer ! » 🇧🇷⭐️

Despite being sought-after by top clubs, Endrick can't make a move to Europe until 2024 when he turns 18.
