Barcelona remain keen on Chelsea midfielder Hakim Ziyech.

ESPN says the Catalans are also interested in Ziyech's teammate Timo Werner.

Barca have asked after both players as they consider an alternative to Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling.

With City manager Pep Guardiola reluctant to lose Sterling in January, Barca are now considering other options.

And their search has led them to Chelsea, where the availablity of Ziyech and Werner has been discussed. Barca would be open to taking one of the two on-loan for the second-half of the season.
