The Ivorian midfielder Franck Yannick Kessie was presented this Wednesday as a player of FC Barcelona.

"There aren’t many players who could say no to Barça, it’s the greatest club in the world, - said Kessie. - I am really looking forward to starting training and meeting all my new team-mates” he continued. “I am ready to do what the coach needs. I consider myself a midfielder, but I’ll play in whatever position he wants.”

"Barcelona" president Joan Laporta sounded just as excited about the deal, saying “we are very pleased to have signed Kessie because we are fulfilling one of the coach's wishes.”
