#1 Pablo Paez Gavira (Age: 16 | Position: Midfielder)
Pablo Paez Gavira, also known as Gavi, has been the most exciting player to watch in these pre-season friendlies. The 16-year-old midfielder, who has brought in comparisons to former Barcelona legend Xavi, however, their playstyles are not that similar. What is similar, is their ability to make great decisions, and keep calm during a tough situation. His passing skills have also reminded some of Pedri. Pedri went on to become an important player for both Barcelona and his nation, and that is exactly what Gavi is striving for as well. Gavi’s emergence has hurt Puig’s chances however, in the world of football it is survival of the fittest. The player has been one of the fastest developing players in the La Masia academy, and he is currently the youngest player in the U-19 team; however, he could be moved up to Barcelona B very soon. He has been the star player for the club in the friendlies, and Koeman will definitely keep an eye on his progression.
