Arthur made his Barcelona bow in a pre-season win over Tottenham.

The midfielder who arrived at the club this summer scored an excellent goal to make it 2-0 to the Catalans in the first half.

Tottenham however equalised in the second period before the La Liga outfit won on penalties.

Arthur was impressive on his debut with Rafinha Alcantara even likening him to Xavi.

“He reminds me… I don’t like to make comparisons, but he has the touch of Xavi, the way that he touches the ball. He’s a great, great signing for Barcelona,” said Rafinha.
