5 players Barcelona should pursue in the January transfer window

#1 Timo Werner (Forward, RB Leipzig)

Is Timo Werner the answer to Barca's attacking problems?

The 21-year-old German has already attracted attention from top European clubs like Real Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern Munich with his excellent run, by scoring 21 goals in 32 matches last season, while already performing well this season with 6 goals in 9 matches.

Not only is he good in front of goal but he also possesses speed and the playmaking technique which enables him to play even as a winger or an attacking midfielder, both of which Barcelona are in desperate need of.

With Ousmane Dembele injured and Iniesta reaching the peak of his career, Werner can provide options to Barca attack which they lack. With 30-year old Luis Suarez just scoring 2 goals this season and really struggling in front of goal, the Barca board should speed up their approach to find a replacement for the forward.

Werner is a versatile player who can play different attacking roles for the team. Reports from Germany suggest that Timo Werner is aware of Barca's interest and is willing to force a move to the Spanish side should they come knocking at Leipzig's door.
