Arsenal wonderkid Gabriel Martinelli can aim to become the best player in the world.
That's the view of compatriot Ronaldinho.
The Brazilian teenager joined the Gunners from Ituano for £6m during the summer transfer window and has been one of the standout players in a difficult season under three different head coaches.
Martinelli brought up his 10th goal of the campaign across all competitions in the 2-2 draw against Chelsea last week meaning he's scored at both Stamford Bridge and Anfield in his first season in English football.
As a result, the 18-year-old has been tipped for a bright future.
Something which former Barcelona and AC Milan star Ronaldinho agrees with as he's picked out a couple of attributes which makes Martinelli comparable with Brazilian legend Ronaldo.
"We as Brazilians are very excited about him and his future," Ronaldinho told the Mirror. "It is one thing to have the talent - but another at the age of 18 to have the confidence.
"He reminds me of Ronaldo his first season in Europe, he scored 30 goals and people were thinking: 'who is this 18 year old Brazilian kid?'
"He wanted the ball, he would run at players, there was no fear no matter what players or team he was playing against - and I see that similar attitude in Martinelli.
"He just wants to be on the ball and score goals.
"Ronaldo went on to be the best player in the world - and that can also be the aim of Martinelli."
Ronaldinho's comments will certainly excite Arsenal supporters as to have one of the best youngsters in the world on their book bodes well for the future.
In addition, to be compared to Ronaldo is one of the highest compliments a player can get as the two-time World Cup winner is regarded as one of the most clinical forwards in football history.
Although, Martinelli did say he models his game on another Ronaldo, Cristiano.
"I model my game on Cristiano Ronaldo," Martinelli told the club's official website.
"He is a player who works hard, pushing himself to the next level. Always in the run for titles and individual trophies.
"I look up to Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar as they are players who can decide games and are very professional, who dedicate themselves to the whole game.
