Arsenal are reportedly plotting a move for an FC Barcelona star after Mikel Arteta agreed.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Gunners have been impressed by Arnau Pradas, an 18-year-old winger from FC Barcelona’s under-19 team, who has enjoyed a remarkable start to the season under coach Juliano Belletti. His recent performances in Spain and Europe have attracted the attention of several clubs, with Arsenal leading the charge to secure his signature after getting the nod from Arteta.
Pradas demonstrated his talent by scoring a brilliant goal in Barcelona’s 4-2 win over Young Boys in the Youth League. He followed this with another outstanding performance in the national championship, contributing to a 3-2 victory against Damm. Even in a 4-3 loss to Monaco, Pradas managed to find the back of the net, cementing his reputation as a rising star. What makes Pradas particularly appealing is its versatility. Although he is naturally left-handed, he has adapted well to the right side of the field, demonstrating the ability to thrive in multiple positions.
After Yamal, watch out for Pradas
After a few years, Pradas’ development seemed to stagnate, but his performances in the current season have reignited interest in his potential. He is not the only Barcelona academy player attracting attention, as several other 2006-born talents are on the radar of top European clubs with teammates such as Hector Fort, Alexis Olmedo, Pau Prim and Marc Guiu who are emerging as remarkable players.
Barcelona should do everything possible to keep Pradas at the club. The young winger is a key part of a generation of highly talented players who could shape Barca’s future. With his contract expiring at the end of the 2024-25 season, the Catalan club should act quickly to prevent his departure.
