Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is convinced by the potential of Riqui Puig.

Puig impressed for Barca during the LaLiga restart and is pushing for involvement in their Champions League campaign.

De Jong told Sport: "I think Riqui has a lot of quality, he has Barça DNA, everyone can see it when he's on the pitch.

"He knows perfectly how Barça plays, their philosophy.

"For me, he's much more than ready to be a starter at Barça, but it is not something that depends on me. We have a lot of good players who can start, so it's more of a question for the coach. For me he has a tremendous quality."
