UD Las Palmas: Brazilian sensation Vitor Roque is ready to be the next great sensation in Spanish football after arriving in Barcelona to finally join up with the FC Barcelona first team, six months after signing for the club.

The 18-year-old has signed a long-term deal tying him to the Blaugrana until 2031 and will wear the number 19 shirt previously worn by the likes of Ferran Torres, Sergio Aguero, Patrick Kluivert and even Lionel Messi.

What’s more, Roque is in line to make his debut on Thursday night as Xavi’s side travels to the Canary Islands to face in-form UD Las Palmas to round off the first half of the season.
