It’s a name that will likely have many a supporter scratching their head, though some may remember the vital role the wide man played in the 3-1 defeat suffered in the Dubai Super Cup during the World Cup break.

The 20-year-old has already registered 11 goal contributions from 25 senior appearances this term whilst featuring across the forward line.
Midfield will be the priority for our transfer efforts this summer, though it certainly can’t hurt to keep an eye on up and coming talents like Barcola whilst they remain affordable options.
There will certainly come a stage too when we need to seriously think about the long-term future of the right-wing role and perhaps the Frenchman could aid us with an appropriate solution.
