Former Barcelona assistant boss Henk ten Cate believes the club will sign Ajax starlets Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt, noting the former has similarities to past Camp Nou stars Xavi and Deco.
The Dutchman, who assisted former Barca manager Frank Rijkaard from 2003 to 2006, told Mundo Deportivo's Roger Torello (h/t Goal):
"It cannot be compared, De Jong can be a mixture of Deco and Xavi, but he is De Jong. It is always difficult to compare players. Both Xavi and Deco were from another planet; De Jong has the talent, but he must still prove it and that his injuries are respected.
