Barcelona had been linked with bringing in a new No. 9 in the transfer window to provide back-up to Luis Suarez, but it seems that job will now be handed to Abel Ruiz.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the 19-year-old is set for the role after captaining Spain Under-19s to victory at the 2019 European Championships this summer.
The teenager is due to arrive back at Barcelona B on Friday and has been talking about how keen he is to start the new season and how he’d love to train with the first team.
