Ansu Fati is still one of the most well-known graduates of Barcelona’s thriving La Masia talent incubator.
However, Fati departed Barça on the day of the summer transfer deadline after falling down the hierarchy at the team, signing with the Seagulls, and manager Roberto De Zerbi is now progressively bringing him into the starting eleven.
Despite having to go on loan this summer due to pressure, injuries, and competition within the team, he is still one of the best football prospects, possessing a goal-scoring ability that has always distinguished him from his contemporaries.
Fati is making good progress.
Ansu Fati is reportedly making good progress at Brighton, according to Dídac Peyret of SPORT. De Zerbi has created a unique plan for him that aims to maximize his athletic potential while simultaneously reducing his psychological load.
The toll that injuries had taken on Fati and the pressure to live up to the legendary No. 10 shirt of Barcelona were clearly contributing factors to his troubles in his final season at Barcelona.
Since making his football debut in England, Fati has scored three goals for Brighton and made an impression when De Zerbi gave him the chance.

De Zerbi is prepared with a plan.
Because of his extended absence due to a meniscus rupture and other problems to his muscles, Fati was severely limited physically at Barcelona.
Recognizing these deficiencies, De Zerbi knows that in order for the young Spanish player to reach his enormous potential, attention needs to be paid to his physical and mental growth.
Even though there hasn’t been much playing time, De Zerbi isn’t putting Fati under pressure right away and isn’t strictly controlling his time on the field.
The Italian is aware that he has a forward who is “special,” but he is not yet prepared to start twice a week. As a result, he is giving the Barcelona loanee more playing time in Premier League games and in European matches.
