Barcelona’s hunt for their next pivot following the exit of Sergio Busquets last summer is a torrid task, but Sporting Director Deco must nevertheless work out avenues of progress for the Blaugrana. The latest midfielder to catch their eye is Danish midfielder Morten Hjulmand.

Playing a mix of roles as a pivot or in a pair, Hjulmand already has 37 appearances to his name thus far, as well as two goals and four assists.
