Newcastle starlet destined to play for 'Real Madrid or Barcelona'

Newcastle starlet destined to play for 'Real Madrid or Barcelona'

Spanish youngster Mikel Merino has been quite impressive for Newcastle so far this season as he has been turning heads. He has so far appeared in 9 games (6 starts) in the EPl for Newcastle as he has scored a goal on the season. The defensive midfielder has been very impressive as he has shown great strength and accurate passing. He has also been very good defensively as he will be one to look out for in the future. Here is what Newcastle keeper Rob Elliot had to say about Mikel Merino to the press: "He is a great player. It is only a question of time before he joins Real Madrid or FC Barcelona. Believe me, he has it all...".

If Merino keeps developping then yes a potential move to Real or Barcelona could be on the cards for the young Spanish rising star. Newcastle are currently in 7th place in the EPL as they have been pretty good so far this season...
