Barcelona sensation Ansu Fati advised to drop down to B team by Kluivert

Teenage winger Ansu Fati might have to drop back down into Barcelona's B team in order to feature week in, week out, according to Barca academy director Patrick Kluivert.

At just 16 years and 298 days old, Fati became the youngest player to appear for Barca since 1941 when he came on as a late substitute in a 5-2 home win over Real Betis on August 28.

A week later, he netted his first senior goal for the Spanish champions in a 2-2 draw at Osasuna, becoming the club's youngest ever La Liga goalscorer in the process.
