The 20-year-old has only made 20 appearances for the Italian side and was a regular feature on the bench last season.
This term though, he has forced himself into the team more with a series of promising performances.
In the game against 'La Viola' on Sunday, the Brazilian issued a reminder of his ability, scoring two fine finishes to help his side to victory and a new Serie A record in the process.
Both goals were clinically put away with his left foot and Roma fans will be hoping there are plenty more to come from the youngster.
Check out the goals for yourself below:
