Barcelona confirm they have ALREADY signed two players - thought to be Chelsea's Andreas Christensen and AC Milan star Franck Kessie - as president Joan Laporta says: 'One is a midfielder, one is a centre back... but I can't name them'

Barcelona club president Joan Laporta has appeared to all-but-confirm the signings of Chelsea centre back Andreas Christensen and AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.

Both players are out of contract at the end of the season and have been free to open talks with overseas clubs since January.

Christensen has been heavily linked with a move to the Nou Camp as he prepares to bring his 10-year spell at Chelsea to an end.

Meanwhile, Barcelona accelerated their interested in Kessie as the 25-year-old attracted significant interest from top European clubs after he announced he will not be signing a new contract with the Rossonneri earlier this year.
