Barcelona have a raw diamond in their academy in Lamine Yamal, who is 15. The coach has used him in first team training and hailed him ahead of the clash with Espanyol. He believes he has an enormous talent with a big future at Barca.
“We follow all the youngsters and Lamine is a talent, we have a project for him, he can succeed, he has a lot of qualities and I hope he’s here for many years. It’s up to him, but I hope in the future he’s a great player.”
Yamal is playing with Juvenil A and in the UEFA Youth League with Barca. The club are looking to tie him down with a professional deal when he turns 16.
