'Fati has a glorious future ahead of him' - Vidal tipping 16-year-old Barcelona sensation for the top

An experienced midfielder at Camp Nou feels an emerging winger will flourish, while World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann is also expected to come good

Ansu Fati has a “glorious future ahead of him”, says Arturo Vidal, with a 16-year-old sensation at Barcelona being tipped to reach the very top of the game.

Another product of the famed La Masia academy system has stepped up into the senior fold at Camp Nou this season.

He has made an immediate impression, netting two goals to take some of the attention away from Lionel Messi during the Argentine’s early injury-enforced absence in 2019-20.
