VIDEO: Kounde's first words as a Barça player

On Thursday, Barcelona announced that they had signed Jules Kounde from Sevilla after the three parties had reached an agreement in principle.

His official presentation is now pending the Frenchman passing his medical and signing his contract. Chelsea thought they had signed him but although they could offer better financial terms to the centre-back and make a better proposal to Sevilla, the 'Cules' had something that the London club did not: Kounde had a great desire to play for the Catalan club and would be willing to accept any offer they made. 

Have a listen to the defender's first interview as a Barcelona player after making his dream move to the Camp Nou.
