Did they simply use the wrong picture?

Did he have a trial with the Albion?

Could you post the pic as I cannot see or use that Twitter link

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Could it be Oscar Garcia's kid/nephew etc.?

Only a pure guess but would expect if so he'd be Barca all the way?

That's Ashley Barnes.

Have you got the English version?

Both at once? Hardly a fair fight.

No, there are a few on here that speak Spanish but from my limited knowledge there is nothing groundbreaking in the article. Basically says his playing style and that they are both after him. Nothing about the Brighton kit, although the theory about being a relation to Garcia is probably the best bet at the moment.

...........or he's on our books and one of these Spanish giants will have to stump up a gazillion euros for him

 

[casbom]

So we still don't know who he is and whether he's on our books, correct?

Good mystery this. I am intrigued.

Well he is only wearing a training kit, so he has not played a game for us at youth level, based on that pitcture alone.

The squad number on the top is 7 which was hoskins last season, the youth team ususally have squad numbers starting in the 50's, so this lad was chucked a kit or what was spare.

It would seem odd that we would not have heard of him by now I assume it will be a link to one of our recent spanish coaches.

If that was Hoskins spare kit i did not think he was that small ? Hoskins that is

I have been told that he is our under 15 at the moment and someone or something has prompted some interest from Barca and Real Madrid.

It seems an unlikely story and usually these things happen when there is a link to those clubs through a parent, friend or agent.

That article would suggest that potentially he may have had a trial with us at some point. Doesn't look like he's on our books at the moment, though.

Which one is it?

Probably to go with the shorts and socks.

The article that Acker linked to earlier in the thread, published yesterday, says the kid plays for AD Huracan at the moment. Perhaps he had a trial with us before joining them?
