Brazilian youngster Endrick has been tipped to make a move to the Premier League after his impressive form with Lyon.
Endrick, 19, joined Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid from Brazilian club Palmeiras back in 2024, in a deal worth a reported fee of €60 million plus €12 million in add-ons.
Since then, the 19-year-old has scored seven goals in 40 matches across all competitions.
Over the last few months, Endrick found it difficult to gain play time and as a result, was loaned out to French Ligue 1 side Lyon during the winter transfer window.

Since moving to France, Endrick has been in impressive form, scoring five goals in six matches for Paulo Fonseca's side.
Currently, Lyon sit third in the Ligue 1 table, six points behind Paris Saint Germain and seven adrift of leaders RC Lens.
As a result of his impressive form, Endrick has recently been tipped to make a move to Manchester United by ex-Premier League star, Louis Saha.
The Frenchman labelled Endrick as an 'exciting' player with 'enormous capacity' and stated that it would be 'very special' to see him playing for the Red Devils.
Saha told CasinoHawks: "Endrick is such an exciting player, very young, but able to show enormous capacity, he is mentally very strong and is very confident.
"He would provide a lot of guarantees to you right away. You know that this is going to have chances because he's creating his own chances, striking the ball from 20, 25 yards."
He continued: "He is very fast and very strong as well. That's why I think he signed very early on to Real Madrid, but you can see that it’s a very difficult challenge with Kylian Mbappé joining.
"He's a star and seeing him at Man Utd would be very special, but let's see what happens. Many clubs will be interested in him."
Back in 2024, Endrick was asked about the rumours linking him with a move to Premier League side Chelsea.
He said to The Athletic, via Ben Jacobs: "I was attracted by the Premier League, the city of London and the fact that English is the economically dominant language in the world. And obviously Chelsea is a strong brand that has won two Champions Leagues.
"I was told that it rains a lot in London, but that wouldn’t be a problem because, as my father used to say, I always liked playing in the rain. But I always made it clear to my agent that my dream was Real Madrid."
