Official: Barcelona sign Luuk de Jong from Sevilla
In a deal no one saw coming true on the deadline day of the window, Barcelona have announced the signing of Luuk de Jong from Sevilla. The Dutchman signs on a season-long loan with a free purchase option which will mean he can sign with the club on a free transfer.

De Jong has previously worked with Ronald Koeman in the Netherlands national team. The striker scored one goal in 12 appearances with Koeman as his coach and has ten goals in 69 appearances while playing for Sevilla across the last two seasons.
Looking at his record, it is tough to figure out the move, but it fills a need in the team in terms of quantity, especially after Antoine Griezmann’s move back to Atletico Madrid.
This deal comes third in line of a domino effect that saw Saul Niguez leave Atleti to join Chelsea, which in turn helped them sign Griezmann, and finally forcing Barca to sign Luuk de Jong.
