"Barcelona may not have made too many major moves in the transfer market this January other than Joao Cancelo. But the club have appeared quite active in signing youth players. The Catalans are reportedly on the verge of signing Egyptian wizard Hamza Abdelkarim from Al Ahly. The club had earlier signed Joaquin Delgado as well, to bolster the attacking ranks at Barça Atletic."
"According to Gianluigi Longari, Barcelona are closing in on the capture of Ajay Tavares, a young winger currently plying his trade for the Norwich City U18 squad. Born in 2009, Tavares is a nimble operator on the flanks. Standing at just 1.70m, his low centre of gravity, coupled with his quick feet, makes him an excellent operator in tight spaces."
"If he can maintain his consistency and progress at La Masia, it will only be a matter of time before he plies his trade for the reserve team. The reserve team is usually the last hurdle to pass before a player makes the jump to the first team, although it is a lot easier said than done. The additions of Abdelkarim, Tavares and Joaquin Delgado could go a long way in boosting Barcelona's youth team, which has struggled with departures and injuries lately."
Barcelona made few major moves in the January transfer window beyond signing Joao Cancelo. The club has signed youth players including Hamza Abdelkarim from Al Ahly and Joaquin Delgado to bolster attacking ranks at Barça Atletic. Barcelona are closing in on Ajay Tavares, a 2009-born winger from Norwich City U18 who stands 1.70m with a low centre of gravity and quick feet. Tavares is expected to join Juvenil A and could soon earn promotion to Juliano Belletti's Barça Atletic, with the reserve team the usual final step before the first team. These youth additions aim to strengthen a squad affected by departures and injuries.
