Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde says Jose Arnaiz is in his thoughts.

The young striker has shone for Barca B this season, with calls growing for the youngster to be promoted to the first team.

Valverde stated: "Jose Arnáiz is a young man with speed, flair and goals and he has an important season ahead of him. We are always looking around the corner, the season has just started and there are many games ahead.

"I like to focus on my team, my players, but it is also true that we look at the corner of the B and we will see what can happen depending on the needs we have."
