Barcelona look to have lost yet another talented prospect with the highly-rated 18-year-old Jordi Mboula reportedly having signed for Monaco.

Marca report the Ligue 1 side have paid his €3 million release clause and that Mboula has signed with the club already.

The teenager is also expected to be part of the first-team squad next season and joins a young and highly-exciting side that won the French league last season and went all the way to the Champions League semi-finals.

If true it looks like another blow for Barca, Mboula has been likened to Thierry Henry in the past due to his explosive pace and clinical finishing.
