Remember the name... Rhian Brewster.
The England wonderkid ended the Under 17 World Cup as the tournament's topscorer after netting his eighth goal in Saturday's 5-2 final victory over Spain.
Brewster scored hat-tricks against the USA and Brazil earlier in the tournament, but who is he? Sportsmail takes a closer look at the teen who has the world at his feet...

WHAT SORT OF PLAYER IS HE?
Having won the Golden Boot at the U17 World Cup, it is clear that Brewster is a goalscorer first and foremost.
He is fit and hard-working, while his movement in and around the box is first class and allows him to score so many simple goals.
But there is more to his game than goals alone. Although chiefly used as the main man up top, he is equally adept at playing as a second striker.
In six Premier League 2 appearances for Liverpool this season, he has scored three and assisted another four.

He scored a header against Spain but he specialises in simple goals, using his fine movement
WHERE DID HE COME FROM?
Liverpool picked Brewster up from Chelsea three years ago.
He left Chelsea because he could not envisage himself breaking into the first team at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking to LiverpoolFC.com last year, he explained: 'I was at Chelsea from the age of seven to 14 but then I told them I wanted to look at my options because I didn't see a pathway to become a first-team player there.
'There were a few clubs interested but once I knew Liverpool were one of them it was an easy choice.
'Liverpool is a club that does give young players opportunities and it's a great feeling to play for this club. I love it up here.'

This season Brewster has been a star player for Steven Gerrard's Liverpool development team
WILL HE GET HIS CHANCE AT LIVERPOOL?
Jurgen Klopp has refused to send Brewster out on loan, perhaps suggesting that he plans to use him at some point this season.
He was named as an unused sub in April when the Reds lost 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace, although he has not made a senior matchday squad since.
However, Brewster did feature in an end-of-season friendly in Australia where Liverpool beat Sydney FC 3-0 in May.
Klopp has form for giving talented teenagers their chance.
The German handed Trent Alexander-Armstrong his debut just weeks after he turned 18 last October, while Ben Woodburn was only 17 when Klopp gave him his bow.

WHAT HAS KLOPP SAID ABOUT HIM?
Speaking in April after putting him on the bench against Palace, Klopp heaped praise on Brewster, but urged him to be patient.
He told the Liverpool Echo: 'I've followed him for more than a year and as it is for boys of his age they grow, it's good.
'Physically stronger, wonderfully skilled boy, real striker, good finisher, fantastic work ethic and all that stuff.'
He added: 'He was on the bench last week because we thought he deserved it and we could use him in the right moment.
'It was not (the right moment) for this but that does not mean it will not happen again in the future.
'He's in a very good way, he's a very good boy.'
