Dutch legend Patrick Kluivert insists Barcelona has no crisis in the centre-forward position, pointing out that young Egyptian striker Hamza Abdelkarim, currently with Barcelona B, simply needs time to settle in.
Kluivert told Koora: "I don't think Barcelona have a crisis in the centre-forward position, with Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres in the squad."
Regarding reports linking the Polish striker with a move away from Barça at the end of his contract this summer, Kluivert commented, "No one knows what will happen, but if he leaves, the team will certainly need a new striker."

Asked whether he expects his son, Shane Kluivert, and Barcelona B striker Hamza Abdulkarim to get a chance with the first team, he said: "My son sometimes plays as a centre-forward, but he's more of a winger than a pure striker, while Hamza is a pure striker who still needs time to settle in."
The former Dutch striker added, "Pre-season will be crucial for them to get a chance with the first team, and next season is wide open."
Abdelkarim recently led Barcelona's youth side to the league title, scoring a hat-trick in a 9-0 win over Monte Carlo on Sunday.
