FC Barcelona have several players out on loan with the specific aim of providing them with a suitable environment in which they can continue their growth and development. One such player who has been shining on his loan stint at UD Las Palmas is the right-back Julian Araujo.
The former Barcelona Atletic coach, Garcia Pimienta, is ensuring that the youngster gets an appropriate degree of prominence on his side, and the youngster is taking advantage of these chances to become acclimatized to the Spanish game.
As SPORT reports, the last match that Araujo played for Las Palmas against Getafe was particularly special for him, as he made his scoring debut in this game. The fullback has been a starter for Pimienta since his third game at the club, and this match against Getafe marked his fourteenth appearance in the yellow shirt.
Araujo opened the score in this match, with a thumping header in the 43rd minute to give his side the lead. Christian Herrera scored another goal in injury time to finish the match 2-0 for Las Palmas. Naturally, Araujo celebrated this goal with a high degree of enthusiasm, as this was his first in the top Spanish flight.
Julian Araujo has been developing well at Las Palmas, and if he keeps to his current trajectory, he can turn out to be an important player for Barcelona, especially since the Catalans only have Joao Cancelo for this position, and he is also currently only on a loan.
Ronald Araujo has publicly declared that he does not like playing on the flank, while Kounde is also reportedly averse to playing in this position.
Thus, Bojan Krkic will have to keep a special eye on the Mexican defender and do everything to ensure that he is growing at the required level with his loan at Las Palmas, and can return to Barcelona next season to provide much-needed depth to Xavi.
