Today, FC Barcelona Blog, presents another future Barca star: Jeffren Suárez. Like Bojan Krkic and Givanni Dos Santos, Jeffren plays for the Juvenile A who won Championship and Copa del Rey in 2006.


Jeffren, born in Venezuela, emigrated to Tenerife, Canary Islands when he was only 2 years old. Now he is living at Barca´s youth academy in La Masia, Barcelona.


A talented young winger, Jeffren dreams of following in the footsteps of his idol, Leo Messi, who is just half a year older than Jeffren but already a super star on the world stage. There are a lot of similarities between Leo Messi and Jeffren Suárez. Both, players are very versatile, extremely fast and have a great technique.


Jeffren Suárez played this year in the Youth A team and gained his first senior football experience in playing for Barca C. Next season, the pacey winger, Jeffren is to be promoted to Quique Costas' Barca B.


Jeffren´s outstanding qualities are his speed and tequnique. He makes powerful runs on the wings, using both feet and has a very strong and precise shot. Since joining Barca´s youth side from Tenerife, talented Jeffren has changed his style from being a goalgetter to providing and feeding others with chances to score. In Tenerife he scored about 20 goals each season while at Barca he scored 5 goals in 2 years.
He changed from an individualist to a real team player, his game is more complete and can play in several different positions.



His former coach at Barca, Guillermo Hoyos, revealed:

"I had the opportunity to discover Jeffren in a match of regional selections in Zaragoza when he played for the Canary Islands. He was the best player in the match and shortly after we were able to sign him for Barca, despite the fact that a lot of other clubs were interested. The following season I was his coach and I had the pleasure to work with this inspirational talent. Jeffren has great power, plays with both feet and is versatile. Every day he progresses and developes in being even a better player. If his progress continues at this this speed we will see a great football player, ready to play in the first team. He is certainly on the right track."
