Barcelona are allegedly set to battle Arsenal, Chelsea and others in the hunt to sign 19-year-old Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, according to a recent report by Spanish outlet Fichajes.

The youngster has made some giant strides since making his senior team debut for de Joden aged just 16. And over the last three seasons, Ryan has gone some way in establishing himself as an important figure for the Eredivisie outfit while also becoming a regular feature for his country’s national side.

The 19-year-old ace has been an ever-present figure for his team early in the 2021/22 term, starting each of their 10 matches thus far while chipping in with a goal and an assist.

Gravenberch’s progress in the last few years hasn’t gone unnoticed, with some of the elite clubs around the continent hot on his trails. As things stand, the Gunners, Blaugrana and the Blues are the clubs tailing him.
