Arsene WengerArsenal are on the trail to sign another Barcelona youngster, Abel Ruiz.

The 16-year-old striker is yet to sign a professional contract with the Catalan club and the Daily Mirror suggests the Gunners are keen on the teenager.

The Gunner have had previous success in nabbing youth team players from Barcelona, such as Cesc Fabregas, Jon Toral and Hector Bellerin, and Arsenal scout Francis Cagigao has been instrumental in all these transfers, having filed impressive reports back to management. He is once again on the case, this time with Ruiz.

However, Arsenal face competition from Chelsea for the Ruiz’s signature.

The Premier League duo have both held talks with the forward’s family, while Barcelona are also keen to keep hold of him.

Ruiz is believed to have huge potential and has currently been capped three times and scored one goal for the Spain Under-17 team.

Arsene Wenger is renowned for plucking young talent from around Europe, and the Frenchman looks set to continue this trait with Ruiz.
