Barcelona boss Luis Enrique aims to add striker to attacking force

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique reveals that he wants to sign a new attacking player to add to the threat of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.

Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique has revealed that he wants to strengthen his attacking force, despite having prolific trio Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar at his disposal.

The trio, who have been nicknamed 'MSN', helped the Catalan giants win La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey last season by scoring a combined 122 goals.

Despite their strength, Enrique is keen to add another striker to the mix.

When asked by reporters where on the pitch he would like to reinforce, Enrique said: "I don't know how to answer but it's a very good question.

"Right now, probably in attack. If we were to bring someone in, that's probably the key area, but it would be nice to add more to all areas.

"It's harder in winter, nobody wants to lose important players. It's not an easy market but we do want to improve our squad and we're looking at opportunities."

As a result of Barcelona's success last season, Enrique was named FIFA Coach of the Year, while his player Messi picked up a record fifth Ballon d'Or at a ceremony in Zurich on Monday night.
