“He is devilish! I saw him playing in a final they won 5-0 and he played a great game.
He has all ability to be the future No9 for my Flamengo." Who is speaking? It's Zico, the biggest idol of the Brazilian club where Lincoln is taking his first steps in professional football.
A powerfully built teenager, Lincoln is a classic 9 – a position where Brazil have had great players in the past such as Careca, Ronaldo and Adriano.
Lincoln was a key part of Brazil's title-winning side at the under-17 South American championship, scoring five goals – two fewer than Vinicius Júnior, his team-mate who was the tournament's top scorer.
He is tipped to follow Vinícius to one of Europe's biggest clubs.
