Barca B coach Pimienta tips Sergio Akieme for big things

Barca B head coach Xavi Garcia Pimienta says Sergio Akieme has first team potential.

Akieme was outstanding in the 1-1 draw with Llieda on Saturday.

Garcia Pimienta said, “He’s an excellent signing we made. We wanted to strengthen that position and we’ve now got it under control. It’s difficult to play in this team but he’s adapted really quickly to our style of play. His performance was incredible.

“He’s trained with the first team and (senior coach Ernesto) Valverde told me he had a chance of making the squad for Leganes, although in the end Morer went instead. Whenever we sign a player it’s to improve our side and so they can play for the first team. If Valverde needs him, he’s ready.”
