Holland striker Luuk de Jong is proud to be joining Barcelona.

The Sevilla centre-forward has joined Barca on an initial season-long loan arrangement.

De Jong said: "I'm tall and I'm good with the head.

"I know I might not play every game, but I have a good relationship with (coach Ronald) Koeman having played for the Dutch national team and he knows when he needs a player like me in the games.

"It's amazing to be a Barça player. I hope to do a lot of good things for the team and for the club, I really want to start."
