Argentina U20 coach Fernando Batista has no doubts about the quality of San Lorenzo striker Adolfo Gaich.

The youngster is being tracked by Barcelona, while Everton are also keen.

Batista has capped Gaich at youth level and told Mundo Deportivo: “I am not surprised that Barcelona is looking at Adolfo as a future project.

"It is worth betting on Gaich. For sure. I do not have doubts.

"He has power, aerial play, he is strong. His speed can also prevail. Despite his height of 1.90m, he knows how to get an opponent off his back. I imagine him on those perfect European pitches, with the wet grass, ideal for him.

"The characteristics would perhaps fit better in the Premier League, in the Bundesliga, in Italian football.

"Though now he could also play perfectly in Spain and Barcelona."
