Ronald Koeman unearthed a dressing room mole who was leaking Barcelona line-ups in his first few months in the job, reveals his brother... as he insists manager is 'totally focused' on securing success with LaLiga giants

Ronald Koeman had to grapple with a dressing room mole during his early days at Barcelona who was leaking his team selections, his brother Erwin has revealed.

Koeman has endured a shaky start to life in the Nou Camp dugout with his new side struggling to make a impact under his leadership, but the Dutchman's task has hardly been helped by a financial crisis at the club while a presidential election looms next month.

And on top of it all, the former Holland boss had to root out an enemy in his ranks, according to Erwin - who was assistant to his brother at Everton and Southampton - but he insists he quickly dealt with the problem.
