Five ideal winger signings for Barcelona.
Barcelona could be looking to strengthen out wide this January, with Pedro leaving the Nou Camp for Chelsea giving Luis Enrique a gap to fill when the club’s transfer ban ends in the winter.
Barca have already been linked with some big names on the flanks, and these five Premier League wide-players look like good targets for the Catalan giants to consider…
1) Theo Walcott (Arsenal)
Not always a regular for Arsenal, Theo Walcott has recently emerged as a surprise target for Barcelona out wide, with the England international a similar player to Pedro with his pace, direct play and clinical finishing.

2) Jesus Navas (Manchester City)
Another player not always in the starting line up of his current club, Manchester City winger Jesus Navas could be tempted to return to La Liga after previously shining in Spain with former club Sevilla.
3) Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)
One of the in-form players in the Premier League this season, Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez looks a real talent and is now attracting all kinds of interest, with Barcelona mentioned alongside Arsenal as potential suitors.
4) Sadio Mane (Southampton)
Strongly linked with Manchester United throughout the summer, Southampton forward Saido Mane is another English-based winger who could be a good buy for Barcelona as his fine form looks set to earn him a move to a bigger club.
5) Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal)
Superb for Arsenal and England so far this season, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be another good option for Barcelona to consider, though would the Gunners sell one of their best young talents?
