Barcelona have announced the signing of France international Samuel Umtiti from Lyon on a five-year deal for €25million.

Injuries to key players in the run up to Euro 2016 meant Didier Deschamps was forced to name the untested 22-year-old defender in his squad. 

Prior to the tournament Umtiti had never played for Les Bleus but in the space of a few weeks found himself making his full international debut at the quarter-final stage in a 5-2 win against Iceland. 

Following his assured performance against the Nordics, he went on to play against Germany and Portugal in the semi-final and final respectively.
