And Don Balon claims Woodburn has been on Barca's radar since he was 12, when they and Catalan rivals Espanyol passed on the chance to sign him.

Dragons boss Chris Coleman showed no hesitation in throwing the young forward in during the failed World Cup bid.

And Woodburn's mature performances - which included a debut goal against Austria - have seen him tipped to take over from Gareth Bale as Wales talisman.

Bale was not fit enough to play yesterday as Tottenham secured an impressive draw at the Bernabeu.
