One of the members of the feared French frontline, Barcola has shone at the World Cup – bright enough to stand out even alongside the talents of Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele.
Barcola has appeared in all seven of France’s matches, starting four and scoring twice – against Senegal in Les Bleus’ opener and versus Sweden in the round of 32.
The 23-year-old also enjoyed a successful club season, winning a second successive Champions League title with PSG while making 49 appearances in all competitions.
However, he is not a guaranteed starter in Paris, often serving as back-up to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for Luis Enrique’s side.
As a result, his name has been linked with top Premier League sides, with Liverpool and Arsenal both keen.
