Xavi identifies 15-year-old as 'best talent' at La Masia, summons him for first-team training

On Monday, Xavi called up 10 players from Juvenil A (U19) to train with the first team - Ander Astralaga, Biel Vicens, Arnau Casas, Fabian Luzzi, Derek Cuevas, Lamine Yamal, Martin Georgiev, Toni Caravaca, Niko Takahashi and Joan Anaya.

Among them, the Barcelona coach seems to rate Lamine Yamal the highest.

Mundo Deportivo's credible Ferran Martinez says that Xavi is surprised by the 15-year-old's qualities. His staff are already closely following the forward whom he considers to be the 'best talent' at La Masia.

Being 15 years of age and already playing for the U19 team already speaks of Yamal's quality. The youngster can operate in all three positions upfront and is known to be a lethal scorer.

Last season, Lamine recorded 16 goals and 14 assists in 29 matches for Cadene A (U15).
