Reports in France say the ex-Sevilla man is the answer to Barça's striking problems

As Barcelona's search for a No.9 to replace the injured Luis Suarez goes on, reports in France suggest they have made an offer for Wissam Ben Yedder. 

According to Footmercato, the Spanish champions have offered Monaco 80 million euros for the striker, who is the team's top scorer and has impressed in Ligue 1. Monaco paid Sevilla 40 million euros last summer. 

Ben Yedder is one of the names on Barça's shortlist, with Valencia forward Rodrigo Moreno their top target with Suarez sidelined for four months. 

Monaco frontman Ben Yedder knows the Spanish league well, which is a plus, but Barcelona are unlikely to be able to spend so much money on him this month.
