PREM SIDES EYE MARTIN AS NOU BOY

- BY JOHN CROSS

BARCELONA striker Martin Braithwait­e wants to fight for his place at the

Nou Camp despite January transfer window interest from the Premier League.

The Denmark star, 29, (below) was involved in a shock switch from Leganes in February when the Catalans were given special dispensati­on to make an emergency signing because of injuries.

Barca are facing financial problems and are ready to offload players in January, with Premier League clubs including West Ham, Leeds and West Brom sounded out by agents.

Former Middlesbro­ugh forward Braithwait­e said: “I am where I always dreamed of and you can only improve if you are here. Many things are happening, but I only focus on those I can control.”
