<\/p>\n

Recent weeks have seen a number of stories broken about Barcelona\u2019s interest in several young starlets, as the Catalan side continue their attempts to bring in teenage talents with a high upside. One of those is Ajay Tavares, who is an under-17 international with England.<\/p>\n

The Blaugrana are reportedly \u2018very close\u2019 to getting a deal done for Tavares<\/a>, who turns 16 next week. In possession of a European passport, immigration rules would present no problems. The deal would see him join up with either Barcelona\u2019s under-17 or under-19 side, with a view to playing for Barca Atletic in the near future.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Norwich City\u2019s clash with Charlton, Clement attended the media, and was asked about reports linking Tavares with a move away.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany young players are now training regularly with the first team. Ajay is a very interesting one on that list, and I know he was also in preseason with the first team and did very well,\u201d he told MD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very young. He\u2019s still very young, but we want to keep our best talent. It\u2019s one of the important things for the future, and it\u2019s what we discussed with the owners: they also want players from our academy to develop and reach the first team. So, of course, we want to keep Ajay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tavares amongst Barcelona\u2019s targeted starlets<\/h2>\n

Tavares is not the only teenage forward being linked with the Catalan giants, who seem to feel it is an area that can be addressed. In the summer, they were linked with a move for Portuguese winger Cardoso Varela. More recently, Club Brugge winger Jesse Bisiwu was approached by Barcelona<\/a>, and negotiations are ongoing with Al-Ahly for 17-year-old striker Hamza Abdelkarim. The Blaugrana have seen significant turnover in recent years in their youth ranks, as a result of Barca Atletic dropping to the fourth tier and the senior side dipping into La Masia\u2019s resources often in recent years.<\/p>\n
