A new report from Sport says that Barcelona wants to sign Watford youngster Yaser Asprilla. People say that the Catalan club doesn’t want to miss the chance to sign the skilled Colombian player in the summer.

The amazing rise of Asprilla in English football

It looks like Asprilla will have a good season in the EFL Championship because he has been very good for Watford in the finishing third. This season, the South American star has played 34 times for the Hornets in various competitions scored six goals, and set up five others for them.

The 20-year-old has been very helpful in the other team’s half, where he has made an average of 1.4 shots, 1.3 key passes, and 1.1 dribbles per 90 minutes in the English Championship. Not only does he know how to pass the ball, but he also made 78.2% of the passes he tried in the second level of English football (which is great).

He works at Vicarage Road and will do so until the summer of 2026. Barcelona would have to make a very good offer to get the talented young player.

The Barcelona team wants to get Asprilla. How good is he going to be as a player?

Asprilla knows how to get in the right place to score a few times. He can see what the other team is doing and make crucial plays in the last third that break down their defense. He can also run quickly when he has the ball.

The Colombian star plays as an attacking midfielder most of the time, but he can also serve as a wide player on the right side if told to. He should be proud of himself because he has scored and set up a few goals this season.

He is 20 years old and has a bright future ahead of him as long as he keeps getting better each year. He is definitely a player to keep an eye on in the future. That’s why Barcelona’s boss Xavi should bring him on board later this year.

It will be interesting to see how well Asprilla does in La Liga if the Catalan club is able to sign him at the end of this season.
