Barcelona have lost whizkid Kais Ruiz to European rivals PSG.

Sport says the 12 year-old is the latest young talent to be lost from Barca due to their youth transfer ban handed down by FIFA last year.

Ruiz's family hails from Lyon and during his time with Barca he had long-standing youth coaches likening his dribbling ability to a young Lionel Messi.

PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi made an announcement on his personal social media channels that a deal had been struck with Ruiz's family.

PSG have also handed Kais' father a scouting role with the club.
