Barcelona are ready to turn the tables on Arsenal - by trying to snatch one of their best youngsters.

The Spanish giants are eyeing Arsenal midfielder Chris Willock, 17, and Tottenham's Marcus Edwards, 16, as potential stars of the future.

Willock is seen as being one of Arsenal's best prospects while Edwards has been talked up as a major talent by former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood.

Barcelona's international scouting chief Ariedo Braida has identified the pair as they look to strengthen their set-up.

Arsenal have snatched a host of young players from Barca in the past, including Cesc Fabregas and Hector Bellerin.

Spanish clubs have pushed for rule changes to stop English clubs raiding their youth academies.

But now it seems as if Barcelona are ready to try and play Premier League teams at their own game.
