  • New Barcelona signing Clement Lenglet has promised the club he is “getting better and better” and is ready to make the step-up from Sevilla.

    Lenglet, 23, was bought for €35 million (Dh150.1m) earlier this month after the La Liga champions decided to pay his release clause.

    The ex-France Under-21 international is now expected to provide stern competition for countryman Samuel Umtiti and Spain centre-back Gerard Pique.

    “I’m really happy to be here,” said the former Nancy player during a press conference, ahead of an International Champions Cup match against Tottenham.

    “I was ready to come and play for Barcelona and every day I’m still getting better and better.

    “I’m trying to speak with people at the club and fellow players so I can get used to the style of play as soon as possible.

    “This is how I’ll continue to improve as a player.”
