Barcelona should make Chelsea star Joao Pedro their number one target ahead of Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sport report on comments from Bojan Krki\u0107 Sr, a former scout at Barcelona. He has offered his advice to the Catalans ahead of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n The newspaper explains that the potential signing of a centre-forward has become one of the most hottest and talked about topics surrounding Barcelona in recent weeks.<\/p>\n Reports have made it clear that the Catalan giants will target a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowksi this summer.<\/p>\n A list of options is being looked at. Report have claimed taht Chelsea\u2019s Joao Pedro is on that list. He\u2019s impressed at Stamford Bridge this season following a big money move from Brighton last summer.<\/p>\n His current tally is 19 goals and nine assists in 46 games this season, 14 and eight of which have come in the Premier League. That has not gone unnoticed around Europe.<\/p>\n One of those watching is Bojan Krki\u0107 Sr, and he thinks the Brazilian should be top of the list.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I had to choose, I\u2019d go for Jo\u00e3o Pedro over Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez. He fits much better into this system,\u201d<\/em> he told What are you playing with?<\/p>\n The former scout then went into further detail about the Chelsea star, labelling him an \u2018incredibly complete striker\u2019.<\/p>\n He believes the 24-year-old is capable of doing everything. He can play with his back to goal, drift out wide or finishing with great efficiency. In other words, he\u2019s all rounder that would fit in nicely.<\/p>\n That, combined with his numbers and a belief Chelsea have a \u2018financial urgency\u2019 to sell players makes him an \u2018attractive prospect.\u2019<\/p>\n Krki\u0107, then, has put his recommendation in. Whether Barcelona act upon that, remains to be seen. With financial limitations of their own, getting Joao Pedro out of Chelsea may not be an easy prospect.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Barcelona should make Chelsea star Joao Pedro their number one target ahead of Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2425,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2424\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Barcelona search for a striker<\/strong><\/h2>\n
