De Jong and Griezmann billed as 'exceptional' signings by Barcelona icon Iniesta

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta thinks it is an exciting time for the club following the big-money signings of Frenkie de Jong and Antoine Griezmann.

Iniesta, now 35, thinks the De Jong signing will be positive for all parties with the club getting their hands on one of the world’s best young players and giving him some of the finest talent on the planet to learn from.

The World Cup winner was speaking from Japan, where he and former Barca team-mate David Villa are preparing to face their former club in a pre-season friendly with Vissel Kobe.
