5 Barcelona youth academy players who should play for the first team

#3 Lee Seung-Woo

Woo has broken records held by Messi in his time with Barcelona

A player with huge expectations on his shoulders. The youngster has broken Lionel Messi’s goalscoring records at Barcelona and that alone has been enough to elevate him to a god-like status amongst his contemporaries.

That it’s happened in non-competitive fixtures is of little relevance. Seung-Woo became one of the victims of the Catalan club’s ban on bringing over minors from other countries and as such, has gone three years with effectively playing just friendlies.

He continues to shine, however, and has been picked out on many occasions by ex-professionals as ‘one to watch.’

Woo’s skill-set is to die for and he can score any type of goal. He won’t get his chance just yet, but it shouldn’t be too long in coming. A front line that includes him and Neymar? A mouth-watering prospect indeed.
