16-year-old wonderkid Siri becomes the youngest player in history to score a hat-trick - Barca already want him

Nicolas Siri, who represents Uruguayan club Danubio, has become the youngest player to net a senior hat-trick, at 16 years 11 months and 2 days of age.

Siri took the record from Pele when he struck 3 past Boston River - he also scored on his debut vs Nacional a week ago.

And Siri's heroics caught the eye of Barcelona, who have a strong scouting network in Uruguay.

However, the Spanish giants can't sign the player until he turns 18, which means he'll stay at his current side for at least another season.
