Fermin Lopez’s emergence at Barcelona this season has come as no surprise to one of his former team-mates Hugo Diaz.
The veteran forward played alongside Lopez last season at Linares, during his loan spell, and says he knew straightaway he was a special talent.
“The first time I trained with Fermín López, I immediately saw that he was a different player because what he did was not normal,” he told RAC1.
“In the first training session he turned like he did a couple of times against Sevilla. I don’t know how he does it, but he turns with a lot of power.
