He can shoot the ball with power from long range.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Spanish talent is still quite raw and would need time to prove his worth as a consistent performer at the highest level. Furthermore, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/\">Premier League<\/a> if Man City manage to get a deal done for him next year.<\/p>\n<p>We can expect Fernandez to add more firepower to Pep Guardiola\u2019s attack in the long run. He is already good enough to serve as a good rotational piece in Man City\u2019s match-day squad.<\/p>\n<p>At 17, the future looks quite promising for Fernandez as long as he continues to improve with each year. He has got the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday. Therefore, he would be a great fit for Guardiola\u2019s needs in the long run. Fernandez is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future, so the Mancunian giants should focus on stepping up their efforts to land him this winter or at the end of this campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent report, Fichajes mentioned that Manchester City are keeping tabs on Barcelona youngster Dro Fernandez.
