"FC Barcelona have been working on securing the signing of teenage wonderkid Ajay Tavares from Norwich City for weeks now. The 16-year-old attacking prodigy is regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in England and is already a part of the Canaries' Under-18 setup despite his age. Keeping with their recent strategy of acquiring youth prospects, the Blaugrana have been working behind the scenes for some time now."
"Born in 2009, the 16-year-old wonderkid holds a Portuguese passport, which is crucial in enabling him to change clubs and countries while still a minor. If he held only British nationality, he would have to wait until turning 18. At present, the deal is stalled pending FIFA's approval, as the football governing body must complete the necessary administrative procedures before granting authorisation for the transfer and allowing him to move to Barcelona."
FC Barcelona have a near-agreement to sign 16-year-old Ajay Tavares from Norwich City, with personal terms already agreed. Tavares currently features in Norwich's Under-18 setup despite his age and has been monitored by Barcelona's scouting department. Born in 2009, he holds a Portuguese passport that permits an international move while still a minor; had he held only British nationality he would have to wait until 18. The transfer is pending FIFA approval as administrative procedures must be completed before authorisation. The plan is for him to join Pol Planas' Juvenil A with a prospect of progressing to Barça Atletic.
