Gai Assulin Released By Barcelona
Israeli's future uncertain at this point...

Barcelona have confirmed that they have not offered Israeli starlet Gai Assulin a new deal and since his contract with the Spanish champions has now expired, he is to leave Camp Nou as a free agent, according to Sport.

A host of English Premier League clubs have been linked with the 19-year-old attacking midfielder who has only ever represented Barca's first team once, against Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey last season. He joined the Catalan side as a youth in 2003.

Assulin is capped once by Israel and has most recently been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur but it is not yet known if any move is likely to materialise.

Strange, he was being touted as the next wonderkid a year or two ago. Seems a bit like the Giovanni scenario.

Interesting. What is the Israeli view on him?.
Honestly, people here aren't too sure. Obviously he's been hyped by the Israeli media, using every bit of positive review from Barcelona - club people, local media - to create huge headlines, but how often has he actually been seen PLAYING FOOTBALL? Very little here, the odd under 21 game for Israel. Hasn't been all that special.

I thought it was more him wanting a release than Barca not wanting him...

Imagine West Ham are in for him with Grant's presence.
