In light of his maiden call-up to the Spanish national team, Pedri has admitted that despite the comparisons to Andres Iniesta, he needs to find his own place in the football world. The 18-year-old has thrived for Barcelona over the last few months and it has seen him mooted as a one for the future.

In light of their recent performances, Brighton and Hove Albion’s Robert Sanchez and Barcelona starlet Pedri have earned their first Spain call-up for Luis Enrique’s 24 man World Cup qualifiers squad. The duo are joined Eibar’s Bryan Gil and Sporting's Pedro Porro who also earn their first call ups.
