Paris Saint-Germain are leading the race to sign Sao Paulo football star Paulo Henrique.

The 17-year-old is considered one of Brazil's most promising attackers and caught the interest of European clubs in last month's Under-17 Al Kaas Cup in Qatar, reports Xinhua.

Sao Paulo lost the final to Paris Saint-Germain but Henrique was voted player of the tournament and was the leading scorer with five goals.

AC Milan and an unnamed Austrian club are also said to have shown interest in the forward. Sao Paulo are keen to extend Henrique's current contract which expires in 2018.
