Barcelona boss Xavi says that there is "no bigger prospect in the world" than teenage midfielder Pedri.

Barcelona boss Xavi has said that there is "no bigger prospect in the world" than teenage midfielder Pedri.

The Spain international has worked his way back from a hamstring problem to become a key player for the club in recent weeks, and he starred in last weekend's 4-1 win over Valencia.

The midfielder has now made 63 appearances for the Catalan giants since his arrival from Las Palmas in September 2019, scoring six goals and registering seven assists in the process.

Xavi has said that Pedri is 'the biggest prospect in the world' due to his unique skillset.

"He gives us a break, he doesn't lose the ball, he's both footed... he's superlative," Xavi told reporters. "What he does, how he turns, the tempo... it's fantastic. He's top level and he's only 19 years old.

"He's spectacular, and there's no bigger prospect in the world than him. We have to pamper him. He makes the difference in the game, in the area... he wins the ball back. It's wonderful to have him. He comes on for half an hour and is transcendent. He's not a normal player. There are few others like him."

Pedri has scored twice and registered one assist in 11 appearances for Barcelona during the 2021-22 campaign. body check tags ::
