Barcelona would like to sign a new striker during the January transfer window.

Barcelona were banned by FIFA from making any transfers for a year due to the signing of young players.

"The coach and the technical staff want a striker. If he comes it will be a loan deal with a right to buy," Josep Maria Bartomeu told Sport. "We'll also have Arda Turan and Vidal coming in, who are two great players."

Barcelona is somewhat thin behind their attacking trident of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez.
