The last signing of FC Barcelona and the express request of Koeman, the attacker Luuk de Jong, arrived in Barcelona this Sunday afternoon to start his new stage as a Blaugrana player. Luuk stopped by the Ciutat Esportiva, where he wanted to express his satisfaction with a message to the fans through the club's social networks: “Hello which ones! I have just arrived at the Ciutat Esportiva. I really want to start now and have a great season together ”.
De Jong went to the Ciutat Esportiva to get a PCR test, step prior to submitting this Monday to the medical check-up and in the afternoon joining the training session with his new companions.
The Sevilla striker, who arrives on loan to Barcelona for a year, knows the current coach perfectly from his stage in the ‘oranje’ team, In addition to having also coincided in the national league with Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depoay, with the latter he also formed an attacking partner at PSV. But not only will you have two godparents in the locker room to adapt as soon as possible, but He also knows perfectly the German goal, Marc André Ter Stegen, with whom he spent two seasons at Borussia de Monchengladbach.
It must be remembered that Luuk lands in Barcelona with the challenge of filling the gap of a strong, tall, physical striker who can play with his back to the goal, a profile that the team lacked and that Koeman considers vital to complete the attacking line .
