Willian, who has been described as Brazil's biggest talent since Neymar, is getting set to light up the English Premier League next season.

Willian, currently at Palmeiras, explained why Messi stands out:

"The way he plays and what he does on the field is someone I will always admire."

As a right-winger himself, there are parts of Messi's game that are reflected in the Brazilian's, and he admits as much.

"Of course, being left-footed like me, I think it's no surprise that I look up to him," Willian added, smiling.
