Barcelona are watching Villarreal striker Nicolas Jackson.

The young forward is becoming more and more influential at Villarreal this season.

Mundo Deportivo says such has been his progress, that Jackson is now on the radar of Barca directors.

The 21 year-old, who can play anywhere across the attacking line, has a contract due to expire at the end of this season.

At Barca they see Jackson as potential cover for Ousmane Dembele.
