Barcelona topple Tottenham on penalties after 2-2 draw
Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 29 - 07 - 2018

PASADENA, July 29, 2018 (News Wires) - Ernesto Valverde expects a bright future for summer signing Arthur after the Brazilian midfielder netted a stunning goal on his Barcelona debut.
The La Liga champions have lost the services of experienced midfield duo Andres Iniesta and Paulinho since the end of last season, but splashed out €40 million to bring in Artur from Brazilian outfit Gremio.
The 21-year-old made an instant impression in Barcelona's opening encounter in the International Champions Cup pre-season tournament after firing home in a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur, before the Catalans triumphed 5-3 on penalties.
Barcelona boss Valverde has confirmed that he still wants to add to his options in the middle of the park, but was encouraged by the early signs from Artur during an impressive first half display in Pasadena, California.
Valverde said: "He is a player that can give us a lot. He can give us possession, goals and he was really motivated today. He had a great game during the minutes that he played."
Like Valverde, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is eager for a transfer breakthrough, particularly as the Premier League outfit are yet to make a signing since last season's third placed finish.
Spurs are already without their nine World Cup semi-final representatives for their trip to America and Pochettino's options have been further depleted after injuries to Victor Wanyama, Erik Lamela and Moussa Sissoko.
Wanyama's knee problem is potentially serious after he has flown back to London to see a specialist.
