In a recent report, Mundo Deportivo revealed that Arsenal are monitoring Barcelona prospect Arnau Pradas. It has been stated that the Gunners are keeping tabs on the Spanish teenager ahead of a potential move for him next year.
Pradas’ Impressive Rise In Spanish Football
The 18-year-old has come through the youth ranks of Barcelona and has done well to prove his worth as an important member of their Under-19 team. Pradas has played in six matches for Barca’s youth teams in the UEFA Youth League, finding the back of the net twice in the process.
The talented wide player has caught the eye with his performances in the youth levels of Spanish football. He is currently one of the most promising young wingers in Spain, so Arsenal would do well to snap him up next year.
His current deal at the Catalan club will expire at the end of this campaign which could open the door for the Gunners to sign him on a free transfer next summer.
Arsenal Are Monitoring Pradas: Is He A Prospect For The Future?
Pradas is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some driving runs with the ball out on the flanks. He can shoot the ball well from long range and can create the odd chance for his teammates up top. However, the Spanish youngster is still quite raw and would need time to prove his worth at the highest level. Plus, he might need some time to settle into life in England.
Pradas is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also operate as a right-winger if asked to do so. At 18, he has the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday as long as he continues to develop with each season.
Hence, Pradas would be a great signing for the Gunners in the long run as he could grow into a future star at the North London club under the expert stewardship of Mikel Arteta. With all things considered, Pradas is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future. Thus, Arteta would do well to lure him to the Emirates Stadium on a free transfer at the end of this campaign.
