Barcelona Agree Deal For 'Korean Messi' - Report

[Shervin.]

The Blaugrana have snapped up the talented 13-year-old...

According to Sport, Barcelona have beaten a number of clubs including Real Madrid to the signing of South Korean sensation Sheng Ho Park.

The 13-year-old has been labelled as the 'Korean Messi' in his homeland and has already signed a sponsorship deal with Nike.

After impressing the Blaugrana scouts in a youth tournament late last year, Sheng Ho has been training at Ciutat Esportiva over the last few days.

The striker has impressed the coaching staff, and Sport claim that they said they had not seen anything like him in recent years.

The contract negotiations were concluded quickly in order to stave off interest from other clubs, and Sheng Ho will now join the Catalan giants' youth ranks in the summer.

Behind Australia, Korea are Asia's best team. I guess its good that it was at their hands that we missed out on WC qualification.

I wish this good well.

that's easy to say, which is why you're probably not a scout for Barcelona.

it's unlikely that Sheng ho will become as good as Messi, but there's a reason why Barca produced players like Messi(Argentina), Bojan(Serbia now Spain) etc... in their youth system, and it's because they found players like Sheng Ho.
