Barcelona target Frenkie de Jong has been described as a bit of a mix between former midfielders Deco and Xavi, by the club’s former assistant coach Henk ten Cate.
Rarely a week goes by without De Jong’s name being mentioned alongside Barcelona’s, although the latest speculation claims Manchester City are set to snap him up.
Ten Cate has been talking about the 21-year-old and reckons there are similarities with former Barcelona stars.
“It cannot be compared, De Jong can be a mixture of Deco and Xavi, but he is De Jong,” he said.
