Barcelona Transfer News: Paco Alcacer Reportedly Targeted by Southampton

Barcelona striker Paco Alcacer is reportedly being targeted by Premier League strugglers Southampton, although Villarreal and Celta Vigo are also interested in the 24-year-old.

Southampton have been monitoring Alcacer's situation at Barcelona and could make a move for the striker, according to Sky Sports News.

Alcacer moved to Barcelona from Valencia in 2016, but he is not a regular and is very much backup to Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou.

The striker has six goals and two assists for the club this season but has only started eight games for Ernesto Valverde's team.
