#2 Sergi Samper
Sergi Samper has been talked about as a natural successor to Sergio Busquets for what seems like an age now.
Still only 20, Samper has a lot of growing to do in a professional sense before he is ready to take the crown from the master, but in order to do so, he needs games under his belt. A decent pre-season aside Samper has barely featured, Luis Enrique preferring to observe the talents of Gerard Gumbau at close quarters.
The inability of the player to force his way into the senior side on a regular basis is beginning to stagnate his growth, which isn’t helped by having to carry a Barca B side that now languish in the third tier of Spanish football, the Segunda B division. Clearly too good for that particular league, with the greatest of respect, either Samper isn’t yet considered good enough for La Liga or, more likely, there isn’t room for him at Barcelona.
Arsenal are one club waiting in the wings and a January sale with a buy back clause seems the most likely option.
