Krzysztof Piatek's impact at Genoa has already caught the attention of Barcelona.

The Polish striker arrived in the summer from KS Krakow for €4m and has scored seven goals in his first three games.

Piatek, 23, is being likened to Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.

Secolo XIX says his early season form has brought him to the attention of Barca, which are now posting scouts to specifically watch the youngster.

And a January move isn't being ruled out, with the Catalans still seeking a striker signing to add to Ernesto Valverde's squad.
