The former Barcelona XI currently playing in the Premier League

Fullbacks - Hector Bellerin (Arsenal) and Lucas Digne (Everton)

Bellerin was linked with a move back to Barcelona recently

The Barcelona team is full of world class players and hence, many players from the La Masia have opted to join a Premier League club at a young age to enhance their first team chances. Hector Bellerin, like Cesc Fabregas, joined the Arsenal academy from Barcelona at a young age.

Bellerin made his first-team debut in September 2013 but he only established himself in the first team after injuries to Mathieu Debuchy, Calum Chambers and Nacho Monreal presented him an opportunity the following September.

The Spaniard has gone on to play 181 times for Arsenal winning the FA Cup and the Community Shield twice each. He was linked with a move back to Barcelona recently but the player has opted to stay loyal to the club that groomed him.

Digne spent two seasons at Barcelona as a backup to Jordi Alba

The relationship between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain isn’t great but in 2016, PSG sold Lucas Digne to Barcelona for €16.5 million. The Frenchman spent a season on loan at Roma while at PSG because he was playing second fiddle to Maxwell. Surprisingly, he moved to Barcelona where Jordi Alba is the undisputed starter at left-back.

Digne played 46 times in his two seasons at Barcelona winning four trophies before moving to Everton last summer for £18 million. The 25-year-old has impressed in England and has three goals and assists each in 22 games so far.
