Digne joins Barcelona from PSG

Xinhua, July 13, 2016 Adjust font size:

France international defender Lucas Digne joined Barcelona on a five-year deal from Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint Germain, the Spanish club confirmed on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old left back spent last season on a successful loan deal at Italian Serie A's Roma soccer club.

"His pace on the left makes him a threat going forward as does his excellent technical quality on the ball," Barca said in a statement.

Digne was part of Didier Deschamps' 23-strong France squad for Euro 2016, but didn't play a single minute.

Digne will arrive in Barcelona on Thursday to undergo a medical. Enditem
