Leo Messi is excited by Barcelona's new signings Thierry Henry and Yaya Toure.

Away in Venezuela with Argentina for the Copa America, Messi has watched from afar as Barca have landed Henry and Toure in recent weeks.

"It cheers me that the team is being reinforced with players of such quality," said Messi. "The signing of Henry is spectacular, he is fantastic.

"I faced Toure in the World Cup and he is a great player, I remember his quality."

On the future of Deco, Messi insisted: "He is a key player, who sometimes doesn't get the credit he deserves. He is a player who I would always want in my team."
