Robert Lewandowski, a striker for Barcelona, praised four young players for having talent beyond their years.
For their outstanding play thus far this season, Lewandowski praised Gavi, 18, Pedri, 19, Ansu Fati, 19, and Ferran Torres, 22.
This summer, the Polish international moved from Bayern Munich to Barcelona for €45 million plus €5 million in potential add-ons.
The 34-year-old has enjoyed a brilliant start to his La Liga career, contributing eight goals and two assists in six league appearances for Xavi’s side.
Asked about Barcelona’s youngsters, Lewandowski said (via Barca Universal): “No, I have not played with so many youngsters in one team, Gavi, Pedri, Fati or even Ferran, he is two years older but still young too. These guys, despite their young age, show great quality on the pitch.
“I don’t feel it, but I know they know I’m there for them and they are ready to talk and they are not ashamed to ask me. I am happy to talk to them because I see the great potential in the team and the speed of development of the players.”
