Barcelona have finally clinched the signing of highly-rated English youngster Ajay Tavares from Norwich City.
Tavares undertook a medical on Monday after jetting out to Catalunya and the transfer has now been announced.
The deal has been in the works
for a little while but had been held up by bureaucratic issues. However, the the requisite paperwork has now been completed, FIFA are happy, and Tavares is a Barcelona player.
The 16-year-old is an exciting winger who has been playing for Norwich’s Under-18 teams. He holds a Portuguese passport which has allowed him to move to Barcelona before he turns 18, per Sport.
Tavares will start off with Juvenil A but will be hoping he can get some minutes with Juliano Belletti’s side Barcelona Atletic.
The teenager is the latest youngster to join the club following a winter window that saw Hamza Abdelkarim, Juwensley Onstein and Patricio Pacifico arrive.
Barcelona are also thought to be hoping to land Jesse Bisiwu as they aim to continue to bring in the most exciting young talents in the game.
