Clement Lenglet "very happy and proud" to join Barcelona

French defender Clement Lenglet reveals his delight after completing a move to Barcelona on Thursday afternoon.

Clement Lenglet has revealed his delight after completing a move to Barcelona on Thursday afternoon.

The 23-year-old, who has signed a five-year contract at Camp Nou, joined Sevilla from Nancy last summer, and scored four times in 54 appearances during his first season in Spain.

Barcelona activated the £31.7m release clause to complete a deal, and the Frenchman has said that he cannot wait to get started with the Spanish champions.

"I now have the honour of living with the Barca shirt and playing in a team of stars. I'm very happy and proud. I'm ambitious but respectful of everyone. I'm going to learn a lot from them," Lenglet told reporters.

"I want to play as much as possible. I'll work every day to grow. I know there's a lot of competition in my position, but I'm here to win trophies. I'm here to learn from everyone. I'm here to learn from Umtiti. It's good for me that Barca have such good players.

"My style? I'm left-footed and I like bringing the ball out. I try to play hard but without making many fouls, although sometimes I make them! It's the opportunity of a lifetime, it's unique, something incredible. You have to get used to Barcelona.

"It's a style of play totally different from other clubs, so I'll try to adapt as quickly as possible. Everything will be a little demanding. I don't know how long it'll be like that for, but everything motivates me.

"It motivates me to play at a stadium like Camp Nou, playing with Messi, in the Champions League and being able to win it, winning La Liga, the Copa. Everything went through quickly and everyone's happy. I'm at one of the best teams in the world."

Lenglet's five-year contract at Camp Nou includes a release clause of £265m.
