Barcelona take out their notebook: the 2 under 17 stars Barca are watching

Barcelona are paying great attention to the under 17 World Cup that is taking place in Brazil. Barcelona didn't send Ansu Fati to it, however, Pedri, future Barca player, is standing out with Spain over there.

Barcelona haven't just kept an eye on Spain. 2 players that Barca already had their eye on are being monitored by the club. They are the Japanese player Jun Nishikawa and the Senagalese player Pape Sarr.

Barcelona have been interested in the Japanese player for some time. When they signed Hiroki Abe, it was also known that they were closely following the young Cerezo Osaka player.

His under 17 World Cup has been spectacular up until now. He has got 2 assists and scored 2 goals for his country in the 3 group stage matches.

Less is known about Pape Sarr. An unknown player in the lower age groups of Senegal's Generation Foot, he is making his mark at the World Cup with three goals and two assists. He is an all-round player and 'Mundo Deportivo' confirm that Barca are after him.

Needless to say that Barca aren't the only team interested in these 2 players, however, Barca's interest is important for when they turn 18.
