Former Barcelona captain Xavi Hernandez has been speaking about Seung-Woo Lee, the young South Korean star currently playing for the Juvenil A side.

Xavi, who is now playing in Qatar, was giving an interview to Navar Sports about a range of things, but it was his comments about Lee which stood at.

“In one or two years he will be in the first team,” Xavi said, even comparing him to Lionel Messi.

Lee, who has only just began playing for the club again after turning 18 following FIFA’s sanctions, has spent a lot time over the past few months playing for his country, where he is one of the leaders of his team.

Now back with Barça, his main objective is to recover physically and to gain the necessary rhythm to prove that all they hype about his potential is justified.
