The Russian midfielder is already a key player for his Dinamo Moscow side

Barcelona don't stop looking for young talent. They picked out Pedri and Pablo Torre, with Emre Demir another to join the club in the summer, for example. 

The scouting department have now found another player that has potential to reach the top: Arsen Zakharyan. 

The Russian player, 19, is already a key play for Dinamo Moscow. He made his debut in 2020 and has not left the first team since. 

Zakharyan has also been capped four times by the Russian national team. 

Barça are monitoring the player, who has a contract until 2024, but Real Madrid and Chelsea are also following the attacking midfielder. 

In fact, Chelsea are currently thought to be leading the race for the youngster. 

Zakharyan made 34 appearances for his club last season, scoring nine goals and setting up nine more. He has one goal and two assists in eight games this year.
