Barcelona defender Jules Kounde has talked up Mikayil Faye and admits he’s been impressed by the summer signing.

Faye arrived on a four-year deal from Croatian side NK Kustosija Zagreb and joined up with Rafa Marquez’s Barcelona Atletic.

He made a bright start to life with the reserve side and has been described as a “football monster” and a “future star” by one of his old coaches.
