Who is Junior Firpo? The Arsenal and Man City-linked left-back who scored vs Barcelona

The 22-year-old has broken onto the scene in Spain in 2018 and has been earmarked as one to watch in the future

There is little doubt that Real Betis full-back Junior Firpo has been one of the revelations of the season in La Liga.

The 22-year-old Dominican Republic-born player was only handed his first-team debut in February but he has quickly made himself at home and has attracted the interest of many of Europe’s top clubs.

Having spent the first half of the 2017-18 season with the ‘B’ team, he was promoted to the senior squad for a Primera Division encounter with Deportivo La Coruna and provided the assist for the only goal of the game.
