Barcelona U18 star Dani Rodriguez is making headlines at the Euro U17.
The 16-year-old right winger has scored a goal against Turkey on Matchday 1 and recorded 2 assists against Belgium on Matchday 2.
Rodriguez has now bagged 2 goals and got 3 assists in just 3 starting appearances for Spain U17 – including a goal and an assist against France.
You may already appreciate his talent by watching his highlights on YouTube.
Rodriguez is being compared to both Leo Messi and David Silva for his technical elegance, superb dribbling and pace. And yeah, he's also left-footed!
Among his few weaknesses, website Football Talent Scout only names shooting - that could be improved - and defensive positioning.
The most impressive thing is that Dani plays for the U18 side already at the age of 16. We hope his rapid development continues – and he soon gets promoted to Barcelona U19 or even Barca B!
