According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal is interested in Arnau Pradas, a young player who is on the rise at Barcelona. 

Since Pradas is only 18 years old and his contract with Barcelona ends at the end of the 2024–25 season, many Premier League teams are interested in signing him. 

Because of this, the Catalan giants have to keep their young academy stars from being taken by teams outside of Spain.

Pradas is in great shape.

Pradas, a very skilled winger from Barcelona’s Under-19 team, has had a great start to the season with coach Juliano Belletti. The young winger has already made important impacts to the team, and he is known for how well he attacks. 

He just made a great goal that helped Barcelona beat Young Boys 4–2 in the UEFA Youth League.

This came only days after he played a key role in their 3-2 victory over Damm in the domestic league, where he also netted a goal. Even in a 3-4 defeat to Monaco, Pradas managed to find the back of the net.

Though naturally left-footed, Pradas has shown great versatility by playing on the right wing, adapting comfortably to different positions. His ability to switch sides and perform at a high level has not gone unnoticed.

Arsenal want Pradas

It is said that Arsenal have expressed a keen interest in signing the youngster. Their manager Mikel Arteta, known for nurturing young talent, feels Pradas fits the bill perfectly. 

Alongside other promising names from Barcelona’s 2006 generation, Pradas has had a bit of an uneven development over the past few seasons. However, his current form is exceptional, making him a top prospect for any team. 

Barcelona are expected to do everything possible to keep Pradas at the club, as his recent performances make him a valuable asset for the future. Whether they will be successful in preventing his departure remains to be seen, especially with Premier League clubs circling.
