Barcelona have made another signing this summer, although it might be a while before he makes an impact on the first team. On Saturday afternoon, Barcelona confirmed that talented youngster Unai Hernandez would be joining the club’s academy from Girona.
At 17 years of age, Hernandez has already
become a name known by many amongst the
youth ranks of Spanish football. Hernandez made
his debut for the senior side with Girona last
season but will at first join the Juvenil A side
(under 19s).
Renowned for his acceleration and ability to get
goals from midfield, Hernandez is right-footed but
tends to start from the left side so as to take
advantage of his powerful shot.
His signing is another example of Barcelona's
efforts to sign up the most talented youngsters in
Spanish football, with Pablo Torre also arriving
from Racing Santander this summer. After several
seasons without much input from La Masia and
young signings, Barcelona appear to be
prioritising precocious young talent again.
