Luis Enrique has hinted at the possibility of Barcelona acquiring Denis Suarez of Villarreal during the January transfer window.

Barcelona have been linked with moves in the January transfer market with Celta Vigo's former Barca-B attacker Nolito a long-time target of Enrique, although reports have claimed that the club cannot currently afford his €19 million release clause.

Enrique told his pregame news conference ahead of Wednesday's game against Real Betis that the under-21 playmaker Suarez had impressed him, saying: "[Suarez] has been doing well. At Sevilla [on loan last season] he did not get playing time, and at Villarreal he is doing very well. He could be an interesting player."
