Barcelona tried to sign Livingstone star who went on to make over 70 appearances for West Ham in the Premier League

LaLiga giants Barcelona once tried to sign a former Livingstone and ex-Premier League star.

The player, who earned 28 caps for Scotland, revealed he impressed the Spanish side during an Under-17s competition with his country at La Masia.

He claims the club then reached out to Livingstone in a dramatic attempt to sign the winger - after impressing at the tournament.

However, a move to Spain never materialised and he would then go on to sign for Leeds United back in 2008.

The former Livingstone star was none other than well-known winger Robert Snodgrass.
