"Now, according to journalist Gianluigi Longari, Barcelona have 'essentially closed' the deal to sign teenage winger Ajay Tavares from Norwich City. One of the most sought-after talents in England, the 16-year-old Tavares' arrival at the Blaugrana club is now only a matter of time, with just his signature on the contract pending. Despite being from the United Kingdom, the player holds a European passport, which allows him to be transferred immediately, having turned 16 years old in December."
"Tavares is a talented young forward, capable of playing across the frontline. Despite having turned 16 only last month, he has been playing for Norwich City's Under-18 team in the current campaign. So far, he has made 19 appearances for the team, scoring one goal in the process. Meanwhile, Tavares has represented the England national team at the Under-15 and Under-16 levels, and is currently a part of the Under-17 setup, for whom he has made four appearances."
