5 young players who can lead Barcelona to success

4  Ousmane Dembele

The Frenchman started his career on a bright note but was out of action due to fitness issues. The 22-year-old can pose a challenge to any side with his speed and powerful runs. The forward is a penetrative option on both sides of the flanks. Ousmane Dembele is a smart mover during set-pieces and his ability to score goals can’t be undermined.

Dembele’s co-ordination and teamwork with Ansu Fati can do wonders for the Catalans’. The Frenchman could play only 5 games in the La Liga last season scoring just a single goal but the ambitious striker will be keen to make his mark in the next season.

5  Ronald Araujo

Ronald Araujo is another star waiting to unfurl his talent. The 21-year-old hasn’t played in any big league but the defender will be the one who might attract the spotlight. Quique Setien needs to give him enough match time at least while playing against some lesser-known opponents.

Araujo is a player who can keep the ball in possession with his clever movements but his ability to win the ball from the opposition is more of an added feature. The Uruguayan has got the quality to excel at the highest level but it will need some polishing. Playing for Barcelona will give the former Boston River player a much-needed push which will prepare him temperamentally.
