Barcelona hero and former youth chief Patrick Kluivert is convinced by the potential of Yamine Lamal.

There's great excitement around the Spain youth international.

Kluivert told Sport: "Lamine Yamal is a very good player.

"He is 15 years old and has already trained with the first team. There are some discussions at the moment regarding him, but he has played for the Under-17 team with Spain. He is a very promising striker, left-footed.

"He's a goalscorer, a passer and a playmaker. He actually has it all, the complete package. The most important thing is to stay humble, to keep both feet on the ground. He has the characteristics to become a great Barcelona player. I'm really convinced of that."
