RCD Espanyol signing a

young player from South-

East Asia

RCD Espanyol has become a reference

in recent years in youth football and

proof of this is the amount of players

who have reached the first team in

recent seasons, plus many of them

represent Spain at different levels.

In an increasingly competitive football,

the search for young talent has

crossed borders and training young

players to become elite players of the

future has become a key factor in the

future of football development.

The latest addition to RCD Espanyol is

Arthur Irawan, a young pearl of

Indonesian football, a country to be

discovered on a football level. Arthur

began playing football in Jakarta since

he was at 8 years old like so many

young boys and caught the attention

of Manchester UTD at the young age

however Arthur's family opted to

pursue his education. The challenge

now, according to the coaches, is to

see how the player will adapt to the

needs and style of European elite

soccer.

It is clear that an emerging country

like Indonesia, in football terms, has

resulted in several Spanish La liga

clubs turning their sights on an area

where there is still a long journey at

the level of basic football

development. Arthur has chosen for

Espanyol and its projection. And

finally, Arthur Irawan has decided for

the philosophy of Espanyol's youth

system to try and make the final leap

into European elite football.
