The list of strikers linked with Barcelona this summer continues to grow, with West Bromwich Albion's Salomón Rondón the latest rumoured to be on the Spanish champions' radar.

Valencia's Paco Alcácer currently appears to be Barça's priority target as they continue their search for back-up to their forward trio of Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar.
