Samuel Chukwueze has become the latest transfer target for Barcelona if they fail to land Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain in January, reports claim.        

            According to Gol Digital, the Spanish champions are interested in signing the Villarreal winger to bolster their squad if they fail to get Neymar. La Blaugrana have been on the heels of re-signing the Brazilian attacker from PSG since the last transfer window and the Camp Nou outfit are looking to bring in a new replacement. And with Ousmane Dembele struggling with injuries and form since his summer move from Dortmund in 2017, Chukwueze looks like the right candidate to fill in the void. Villarreal recently placed a massive €63million buy-out clause on the Nigerian's contract which is a cheaper alternative to Neymar. The 20-year-old made his mark for the Yellow Submarines in the 2018-19 season and went on to consolidate his performance with the Super Eagles at AFCON 2019 tournament. He has already scored two goals in seven appearances in the current campaign and got nominated into the 40-man Golden Boy shortlist.
