Barca star Ansu Fati spotted wearing Kaizer Chiefs cap

Published on

Barcelona star Ansu Fati has been spotted wearing a Kaizer Chiefs Nike dry cap while watching Barcelona’s basketball team play against Valencia Basket on Sunday.

The African-born attacker was spotted by the Barcelona basketball club’s photographer sporting an Amakhosi cap, as he smiled and showed a thumbs-up to the camera, as he continued to be sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Fati also recently agreed to a new six-year deal and become the second player from the club to have his buy-out clause set at 1billion euros, despite being linked with a move elsewhere but has committed his future to the financially-stricken Catalan giants.

Fati’s new contract will officially be signed on Thursday and will see him follow in the footsteps of team-mate Pedri, who last week agreed new terms which also included an £842million release clause.

In 47 appearances for Barca, the forward has scored 15 goals and is the second youngest player to debut for the club after he made his first appearance aged 16 and 298 days.

The 18-year-old has racked up numerous records during the past three seasons, becoming Barcelona’s youngest LaLiga goalscorer, the youngest player to score and assist in a LaLiga match and the club’s youngest player in the Champions League.

Despite suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee in November, Fati returned after 10 months on the sidelines to help lift some of the gloom at the Nou Camp with two goals in five appearances this season.

A product of Barca’s La Masia academy, he took on the number 10 shirt after Lionel Messi left to sign for Paris St Germain in the summer.

The news was announced soon after Fati had appeared as a half-time substitute in Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Wednesday.
