Footage of Kaka's son in action goes viral and fans genuinely can't believe what they're watching

Footage of Kaka’s son has gone viral – and fans are all saying the same thing.

Kaka, 42, was one of the best attacking midfielders of his generation and played for some elite clubs such as AC Milan and Real Madrid during his playing career.

He was also part of the Brazil side that won the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

The Gama-born former professional was known for his pinpoint passing, effortless ability to dribble, as well as his knack for scoring goals.

The former professional was arguably at his peak between 2003 and 2009 when he moved from Milan to Madrid, having been signed in the same transfer window as Cristiano Ronaldo.

Los Blancos paid €67m (£55.6m) for the Brazilian – the second-highest transfer fee ever at the time.

However, his time in the Spanish capital did not go as planned. Kaka's four seasons were blighted by a string of injury issues before he moved back to Milan in September 2013.

He then transferred to MLS side Orlando City before a loan move to Sao Paulo in his native Brazil.

Now, footage of his son has emerged online and fans in the comments section have pointed out a few similarities with his father.

16-year-old Luca Celico Leite can be seen dribbling in a similar fashion to how his father used to, which you can see in the video below.

One said: “I really hope he does, I loved watching Kaka play and this kid has the same exact style.”

Another added: “His body movement and style is identical to his dad. I would give everything for this world to have a Kaka 2.0."

A third commented: "I hope he does [make it pro] but the chances of that happening is very slim. His dad at one point was top 3, if not the best player in the world.

While a fourth exclaimed: "Peak Kaka was one of the best players ever. His combination of speed, control, passing, vision and movement was unreal, and how easy he made it all seem only solidified how good he was."

Another explained: “The exact same passing motion. It’s uncanny.”

A sixth revealed: “I just saw this earlier too lol, it's crazy just how much of a carbon copy he is of his dad. Here's hoping that he reaches his dads level.”
