SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- At this rate, sonograms will become a soccer recruiting tool pretty soon.
Jean Carlos Chera, a 9-year-old who is 4-foot-6, is attracting interest from Manchester United and other top European teams. Chera, who weighs 77 pounds, currently plays for the youth teams of Associacao Desportiva Atletica, a small club in the southern Brazilian state of Parana.
"Seven or eight European clubs have already contacted us to know more about Jean," team president Adilson Batista Prado said in a telephone interview Thursday. "They want to know what he is all about, and I tell them he's a phenomenon, probably the best player to come out of Brazil."

He IS a phenomenon. The city where he's living now is a hop, a skip, and a jump from my hometown. More interesting though is how fast the news about this boy spread. Last week, they put up a video on the team's homepage, they ran out of bandwith in like 2 hours. A couple of days later, representatives from Manchester United were to come to Brazil.
This is just insane, poor kid. But he does have tons of talent...
