Wenger: Barcelona don't need striker - but they'll buy one

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger expects Barcelona to buy a new striker this summer.

Barca are pushing hard to prise Lautaro Martinez away from Inter Milan - a move Wenger isn't surprised by.

He said, "Barcelona have always bought the best players. Personally, I am not sure that (Luis) Suarez should be replaced right now.

"They can sign another striker because it is true that Suárez and (Lionel) Messi are the main scorers and they may need someone else who can score goals, but I think I still think that (Antoine) Griezmann will at some point start scoring goals, since now he doesn't see himself completely.

"Perhaps now after the confinement he will improve because he is also a good scorer.

"However, despite this, I am convinced that they are also going to sign another striker."
