Barcelona are working on signing Japan starlet Jun Nishikawa when he turns 18.

The technical secretary of FC Barcelona continues to control the great pearls of world football. One of them, as MD already reported, is Jun Nishikawa, a 17-year-old Japanese who Barça has been following since last season. 

The handicap of the Japanese football player is that he is not yet of age and, therefore, cannot sign for a European team until next February 21, when he will turn 18.

If they sign it, for summer

If the operation finally comes to a good port, Barcelona assure that the intention is that Nishikawa will join in summer.

Nishikawa is considered the player of the future in Japan as demonstrated in Brazil's U17 World Cup, where he produced two goals and two assists in the four matches he played.
