Spain boss Luis Enrique insists Barcelona teenager Gavi can’t be compared to any Barcelona player from the past due to his unique style of play.
The 17-year-old became the youngest international goalscorer in Spanish history against the Czech Republic on Sunday, beating Ansu Fati’s effort by just 8 days.
Enrique was full of praise for Gavi as he addressed the media ahead of Spain’s UEFA Nations League game against Switzerland.
He said: “Pedri does have a style like Iniesta, as if they were dancing. You don’t know Gavi yet, you still don’t know him.
“There is a lot more to see from Gavi. When he has more presence in the area, his heading, he arrives and jumps well.
“He is still a project, he has to keep growing, but I don’t see a comparison with any players from the past.”
