Barça watching young Basel striker Embolo

Barcelona are one of many clubs keeping an eye on young striker Breel Donald Embolo, according Sportbild. 

The Swiss forward is one of the stars of the current Basel side and Barça have been monitoring his evolution over recent months. 

There were scouts from the Catalan club present at the Europa League draw between Basel and Fiorentina recently. 

Embolo, who’s also being watched by Juventus, Arsenal and Manchester United, has scored 26 goals and created 18 more in 71 appearances for the Swiss club - he’s still just 18.

However, it would likely cost somewhere close to 20 million euros to sign him.
