Barcelona reportedly fear losing young forward Abel Ruiz next year as a trio of Premier League clubs are keeping a close eye on him.
The La Masia product is currently on international duty with Spain at the Under-17 World Cup in India, where he has played a key role in his side's run to the last 16.
According to The Mirror, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal have all shown an interest in the youngster, who is regarded as one of the top prospects in the country.
Ruiz is said to have a £3m buyout clause in his contract, which is due to expire at the end of next season, and the English big guns are tempted to make a move.
The report suggests that Arsenal and Chelsea have already contacted the player's representatives, with Ruiz contemplating a switch unless he is given a chance to shine in the first team.
