There’s a 16-year-old playing for Limerick who looks so much like Neymar it’s frightening…

This is scary...

When your club signs a new star you hope they have the talent of Ronaldo, the skill of Messi or the balls of Ibrahimovic.

Limerick FC must have had this in mind when they signed 16-year-old forward Barry Cotter.

The youngster has similar attributes to one of the world’s biggest football stars – although not necessarily in terms of talent.

It’s not his dribbling or his flair that stands out the most, it’s the fact that he looks exactly like Barcelona forward Neymar.

They’re lucky to have snapped up Cotter before Manchester United got hold of him…
