Brazil is one of the big places for harbouring young promises. Coritiba has a player in their youth squad who is one of the latest to come to the foreground, 17-year-old, Yan Couto.
The defender has already played nine games with Brazil Under 17's, but he has not yet debuted in an official game with the first team.
Yan Couto currently plays in Coritiba's youth squad, but this has not prevented him from catching the attention of several European clubs, such as Bayern Leverkusen.
Moreover, as 'Globoesporte' points out, Arsenal are the latest team to add their name to the list of suitors. The player's contract runs out at the end of the season and the Gunners have taken a step forward in signing him.
