According to AS<\/a>, 16-year-old Ebrima Tunkara is attracting growing interest from some of the continent\u2019s most powerful clubs after a series of outstanding performances for both Barcelona\u2019s academy and Spain\u2019s youth teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The teenager has rapidly become one of the most exciting prospects at La Masia and is now viewed as one of the brightest young players in his age group.<\/p>\n

Notably, his performances at the Under-17 European Championship have only increased the attention surrounding him, with scouts from several major clubs closely monitoring his progress throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n

The young defender has left a strong impression thanks to his powerful physical profile, technical quality and excellent left foot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those attributes have helped him become a key figure for Spain at the ongoing Under-17 European Championship, where he has four assists to his name.<\/p>\n

According to the report, representatives from Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus have all attended Spain\u2019s matches to closely assess the teenager.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While several other highly-rated youngsters were also observed, Tunkara remains one of the names generating the greatest excitement.<\/p>\n

Despite the growing interest, Barcelona remain calm about the situation, as the player wishes to continue his development with the Catalan club.<\/p>\n

In fact, Barcelona have already accelerated several stages of his development, believing that he is capable of competing at levels above his age group.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although still eligible for cadet football, he has already featured for Bar\u00e7a Atl\u00e8tic and his development has not gone unnoticed by Hansi Flick either.<\/p>\n

The teenager has trained with the first team on multiple occasions, and reports indicate that the German coach intends to include him in the club\u2019s pre-season p<\/a>lans this summer, which clearly means Barcelona intend to oversee his growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona may already have another special talent on their hands, and Europe\u2019s biggest clubs have certainly taken notice.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34663,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,222,14863,223],"class_list":["post-34662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-ebrima-tunkara","tag-fc-barcelona"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
