Adama Traore was like a "nine-year-old Usain Bolt" when he first emerged at Barcelona's La Masia academy, according to his former youth coach, Jordi Condom.
Condom was working with the age-group teams at Barcelona when Traore - who would go on to be a Premier League star and recently won his first cap for Spain in a friendly against Portugal - was starting his journey through the system.
The coach, now back at Belgian side Eupen, recalls he had actually gone to watch a different Barca youth team, but his eye was caught by a young Traore playing on an adjacent pitch - and it was clear immediately that he was a special talent.
