Both Barcelona and Manchester City are keeping tabs on Sporting Gijon’s young left back Juan Angel. The Spanish Under-21 international has come to the attention of the English and Spanish giants and is tipped to have a big future ahead of him in the game.

Having progressed from Sporting’s B team, young Angel made 15 appearances for the club last season, helping them to maintain their La Liga status.

Sporting are reported to not hold out much hope of keeping their bright young talent for too much longer however, with the vultures already circling. A fee of around €15M has been mooted for the 21-year-old, and Sporting would no doubt like Juan Angel instantly loaning back to them, rather than hurting his development on the fringes of a bigger club.
