According to the report from football-espana, Barcelona wants to bring in Edgar Davids this January transfer window, or at least the closest thing they can find to a reincarnation. President Joan Laporta declared on Monday that he wants to sign a midfielder to kickstart their season in the same way that the Dutchman once did.
Sporting Director Deco has a clear idea of what and where he wants in the market if they can raise the funds to make a deal happen. As per Sport, Deco wants an experienced midfielder with the ability to cover ground and stand up to the opposition physically to slot in alongside the likes of Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, and Ilkay Gundogan.
The Catalan daily says that Deco is looking towards the Premier League to find the profile he wants, believing that the oversized squads in England could allow them to find the right player at a lower price.JAMB Result
