FC Barcelona forward Toni Sanabria may well be heading to the England after Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City have shown interests to secure his services.

The 17-year-old, who has already received two international caps from the Paraguay men's team, is currently playing for the Barcelona B team in the second division, but has proven that he is ready to take his game to the next level.

Regarded as the "jewel" of the Barcelona academy, Sanabria will have to wait until his 18th birthday arrives, which falls on March 4, 2014, for him to sign a professional contract with the Blaugrana because of the rules in Spain.

Frontrunners Arsenal may easily snatch him by paying the €3million release clause, but more than that, he will definitely get his fair share of opportunities at the Emirates as Gunners manager Arsene Wenger loves to develop young players.

Hector Bellerin, Jon Toral, Fran Merida, and the most famous of the bunch, former captain Francesc Fabregas, were all products of the La Masia before they headed to North London.

Playing with the thought of becoming the next "Cesc Fabregas," or even better, would certainly be an entertaining option for Sanabria.
