Barcelona target Cesar Azpilicueta

Spanish champions Barcelona are looking into a deal for Chelsea full-back Cesar Azpilicueta with top target Hector Bellerin set to remain at Arsenal.

The Catalan giants are said to be on the search for a new right-back after Brazilian international Dani Alves ended his eight-year association at Camp Nou.

According to The Telegraph, Luis Enrique's side have shifted their focus towards Azpilizueta following news that Bellerin would be offered an improved contract at the Emirates.

Azpilicueta, who is equally adept at playing on both flanks, is weighing up his options with new boss Antonio Conte likely to reshuffle his backline ahead of next season.
