5 players who can inherit Andres Iniesta's number 8 jersey at Barcelona

# 3. Denis Suarez

Suarez has been a regular name on Barca's bench this season.

Barcelona boast a sensational crop of young talent, like they always have. Denis Suarez is one of such players who has shown his potential despite being short on opportunities.

The fans have said much about the player who they believe is a perfect option to fill in for the departing legend. His positioning and skills give a slight glimpse of Iniesta in his early days.

The 24 year-old has featured 24 times this season in all competitions, so far majorly coming on as a substitute.

Iniesta's departure would mean his game-time must increase at the Camp Nou. Without a shred of doubt, he is a talented player but he needs to work on his finishing and decisiveness in the final third.

However, if he can convince Valverde to hand him the legendary #8 the coming season, it would highlight the trust of the fans placed in him.
