Barcelona have wasted no time in announcing the arrival of their new January signing, Vitor Roque. The Brazilian striker has now landed in Catalonia, as documented by the club’s official website. After completing the formalities and taking pictures to announce his arrival, the club confirmed that he will take part in training on December 29. 

The striker made the move to the LaLiga giants from Athletico Paranaense for a fee worth €40 million, and is expected to provide a significant impact due to the team’s struggles in recent weeks.

It seems almost certain that the youngster will wear the number 19 shirt at his new club, moving on from the 9 he had in Brazil. He had a remarkable spell in the Brasileirão Serie A, scoring 21 goals in 45 games across all competitions, bidding farewell to the fans in their final home game of the season. 

Barcelona consider Vitor Roque a vital part of their future, after impressing in the Sudamericano Sub-20 with the Brazilian national team. The Culers had wrapped up the deal much earlier, but wanted to let him end the season with Paranaense before he made the move in January. 

It now remains to be seen how Xavi uses the new signing in his team. In all likelihood, he could provide competition for Robert Lewandowski in the number 9 position unless there is a switch to a two-striker formation.
