Barcelona are keeping tabs on Portuguese defensive prospect Jordan Arnolin after sending a scout to watch the 18-year-old during Estoril Praia’s 0-4 defeat against FC Porto, according to a report from SPORT.
The outlet mentions that a representative of the Catalan club was present at the Estadio do Dragao to assess the young defender, who was making his first start for Estoril Praia.
Although his side suffered a heavy defeat, Arnolin attracted attention with his versatility and ability to operate in several positions. Arnolin is naturally a centre-back but can also operate as a full-back or defensive midfielder, a profile similar to their youth team gem Xavi Espart.
