Barcelona 'eye move for Polish forward Krzysztof Piatek'

Barcelona are reportedly considering a deal for Genoa forward Krzysztof Piatek.

Piatek scored 32 times in 65 appearances for Polish outfit Cracovia between 2016 and 2018 before sealing a move to Genoa during the summer.

The 23-year-old has started the 2018-19 campaign with an incredible seven goals in three appearances for his new club.

According to Il Secolo XIX, Barcelona are closely watching the development of the centre-forward, who has been dubbed 'the new Robert Lewandowski'.

Barca allowed Paco Alcacer to join Borussia Dortmund on loan during the summer transfer window, meaning that the Catalan giants are short of options when it comes to the centre-forward position.

Piatek was named in Poland's preliminary squad for the 2018 World Cup but missed the final cut ahead of the tournament.
