The 19-year-old midfielder has also been linked with Manchester City and Arsenal after lighting up the Spanish second division with Las Palmas
From David Silva to Pedri, Pedro to Yeremi Pino, the Canary Islands have become a hotbed of footballing talent in recent years, with a number of Spain’s most technically-gifted footballers hailing from the likes of Tenerife and Gran Canaria having been brought up playing street football.
Pedri is the current footballing poster boy for the islands, having been raised in Tenerife before heading across to Gran Canaria to join Las Palmas, from whom he was bought by Barcelona before becoming arguably the most impressive midfield talent on the planet.
The conveyor belt is not stopping, though, and it might not be long before Pedri is joined at Camp Nou by another Canary Islander who has trodden a similar path to the Barca starlet.
