Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu is set to join Barcelona in the near future.
Some Everton fans may not be disappointed that Gerard Deulofeu is set to leave Goodison Park, but it could be a major blow in the years ahead.
Deulofeu is set to leave Everton in the near future, with Barcelona about to activate their buy-back clause for the Spanish winger (Daily Mail).
The 23-year-old attacker is now expected to return to the Nou Camp in the near future.
And the news does not seem to have disappointed some Everton fans too much, as covered in a reaction piece by HITC yesterday.
However, although some Everton fans may not have realised, Deulofeu’s departure could be a serious blow in the years ahead.
Deulofeu is yet to find the consistency in his game to make him a top level winger, but he has all the qualities required to turn into a superstar.
The Spanish youth international is a rare talent, and his match winning qualities are there for all to be seen.
Deulofeu has pace, trickery and creativity – and although Everton fans may never have seen the very best of him, if the youngster does fulfil his potential then the Goodison Park crowd could be left to look back and reflect on what might have been.
