Eduardo Camavinga is emerging as one of the hottest talents in continental Europe following his high-profile move from Rennes to Real Madrid.
The former Rennes youth prospect is a France international and made a big impact in his breakthrough season for La Liga giants Real Madrid.
The Angola-born star joined the youth set-up of Rennes in 2013 before making his way through the age groups and eventually the first team.
Camavinga did not walk down a straight path to glory, having a number of life struggles. His parents became refugees after fleeing from Congo to Miconge, Angola, in the early 2000s.
Camavinga was born in a refugee camp in 2002, before moving to Fougeres in north-west France. This where he would grow up, as well as develop into one of Europe's hottest talents.
After signing with local youth club Drapeau de Fougeres, which then earned him a trial with Rennes.
By the age of 18, Camavinga has announced his name on the world stage and already caught the attention of Real Madrid.
