All eyes for the new season are on Brazil's soccer superstar Kaka. His extraordinary talents, good looks and easy charm have catapulted him to the top of the sport. But where is the next Kaka coming from? Not Brazil, not even South America, the next player to wow the world is from Florida, USA - his name is Gato.

Not only does Gato share Kaka's looks, he also shares his talents. With quick feet and a sharp soccer brain this 10 year old sensation has all it takes to make it to the top. Just like Kaka, he's modest too. You won't find this player boasting about how great he is. That's best left to those who watch his skills.

Felipe Rodriguez of nextsoccerstar.com predicts great thing from him "It's not often you see a player of such maturity at that age. Yes he can dribble, yes he can do the tricks, but his main asset is his ability to bring his team mates into the game. He is the closest we have ever seen to the next Kaka."

For years the USA has been seen as a minor player in world soccer, now Gato could change all that. Oliver Fowler, founder of nextsoccerstar.com has the final word "Gato is great for the USA. We've long expected a star to come from the USA, now it seriously looks like happening. This kid is cool enough and talented enough to make it. Brazil has long been the place for new soccer stars, but that could all change with Gato."
