Barca begin search for Pedro replacement.

Barcelona are reportedly making a move to sign AS Monaco forward Anthony Martial as they look for replacements for Chelsea new-boy Pedro.

The Catalan giants are one of many admirers of the talented young attacker, who has also emerged as a target for the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham this summer.

Barca cannot register new players until January due to a transfer ban, but Sport claims they are already beginning the process of preparing a new-look side for the second half of the season.
