Scoutingtalents have followed some outstanding talents of Football Club Barcelona over the past weeks. The two FC Barcelona youngsters, Bojan Krkic and Giovanni Dos Santos, are definetely sparkling jewels and the future stars of FC Barcelona.


Top of the list is Bojan Krkic, who despite being a mere 15 years of age, has been promoted to Barca B for next season. When running with the ball at his feet the young forward is just unstoppable. In Barca´s Youth team (Juvenile A), Bojan easily takes on and out-plays opposing defenders that are up to 3 years older than him.
I have been watching this exciting forward playing and scoring goals. It is pure joy to observe this very fast striker, with outstanding technical skills. He has got his ball at hos feet and runs through the defence lines and seem to be unstoppable. He has got a very strong shot and a clinical finish. Its beyond question that he'll be a name to look out for at the Nou Camp in the next couple of years.

Born in Linyola, Catalonia, Bojan is a natural born goalgetter. He joined Barca in the age of 9 from Bellpuig when his quick reflexes and lightning speed were first recognised by club scouts. Since then he's developed into an extremely promising youngster - not yet the finished article, but not far off.
If his current growth continues, I believe that his rise will be meteoric! First he needs experience, which he will gain when he progresses from the 'Juvenile A' (where he competes well with players 3 years older than him) into 'Barca B', which is, incidentally, an even faster rise than Leo Messi.

Follow up:

Bojan´s strength lies in his tremendous goal-rate. The young player scored an incredible 889 goals in just 7 seasons as a Barca kid and has beaten all Barca Youth Policy records so far. His goal average is literally frightening: 3.5 goals per match!


Bojan began the last season 2005-2006 in the 'Cadets' under Rodolf Borrell and scored 26 goals in just 13 matches before he was promoted to Juvenile B and later to the Juvenile A, where he finally won under coach Alex Garcia´s both, Championship and Cup.

He started as a substitute but forced his way into the starting line-up becoming a very important part of the silverware winning Barca Juvenile A.


Bojan Krkic was also called up by Spain to play in last May´s U-17 European Championship and scored 5 goals which made him top scorer of the tournament, a title he shared with 2 other players.
Next season, you can watch his skills in the Juvenile A but he will also be introduced to senior football in Barca´s B team. But with such pace and acceleration, its hard to say when he'll be playing first team football. Next season may be a bit early, but I wouldn't bet against it!

Remember the name: Bojan Krkic!
You probably heard the name first here, on Scoutingtalents.

The other future star, in our opinion, is going to be Giovanni Dos Santos. You don't have to be a football professor to recognise his outstanding skills and talent. Anybody who followed the U17 World Cup last year knows about this young prospect.
Giovanni is one of the young stars that entertain fans at the Mini-Estadi every week. The Mexican winger is always at the centre of the action and is a real joy to watch. He will be promoted to the Barca B squad next season and will undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of Leo Messi.

Giovanni is fast and has incredible technical skills. He looks a bit like Ronaldinho and plays a similar style. It is very difficult to take the ball of his feet, when the pacey winger runs over the flanks and cuts into the penalty box. he is a scorer but also has a great view for the better positioned team mate.



In addition to Giovanni Dos Santos and Bojan Krkic, there are Marc Crosas, Jaime Hernandez and Jeffren Suárez who will also be promoted to Barça B. Youngster Yago (same age as Bojan, both 15) will stay in the Juvenile A and will be playing Barca C matches from time to time to gain some senior football experience.
