The left footed forward is a creative force, finding pockets of space in between the lines and linking up with teammates efficiently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/05\/30\/barcelona-extend-contract-ousmane-dembele\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Barcelona to Extend Contract of &#8216;Untouchable&#8217; Player<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 16-year old was the Star of the Spain U-17 national team in the recently culminated European U-17 championship.

He will play for Barca Atletic, managed by Rafa Marquez when he does not see playing time for the first team. Blaugrana fans are excited by the 16-year old&#8217;s meteoric rise and his performances at such a young age. The club will be hoping he takes the path other youngsters like Gavi and Ansu Fati took and break into the first team at a tender age laying a solid foundation for the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_625163\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-625163\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-625163 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/Barcelona-Spotify-Camp-Nou-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of Barcelona's Camp Nou\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/Barcelona-Spotify-Camp-Nou-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/Barcelona-Spotify-Camp-Nou-1024x665.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/Barcelona-Spotify-Camp-Nou-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/Barcelona-Spotify-Camp-Nou.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-625163\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nou Camp by Kafuffle: https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/oh-barcelona\/3795281086 CC by SA 2: https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q19125117<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lamine Yamal is set to sign his first professional contract with FC Barcelona.
