Arsenal Sign Wonder-Kid Jon Toral From Barcelona

24th February 2011 by andym

Arsenal today have yet another addition to their youth academy after signing sixteen year-old wonder-kid Jon Toral from Barcelona.

Toral who has been tipped as a future star thanks to some impressive midfield performances for the Barcelona youth set-up has followed in the foot-steps of current Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas by making the switch for the North London club.

It is estimated that Arsenal and boss Arsene Wenger have had to fork out £350,000 for the player and it seems his mother who is of English origin may have had some influence in the youngsters move to the Premier League.

Ironically it was Toral’s agent Pere Guardiola, brother of current Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who helped secure the deal of player who could be a future Gunners star for years to come.
