The teenager is highly rated and featured in all three of Ukraine’s Euro 2016 games. He came off the bench in the games against Germany and Northern Ireland before starting the final group game against Poland.
He is also the youngest player to score for his national team. He broke Andriy Shevchenko’s record back in May when he scored against Romania.
