FC Twente boss ‘surprised’ to land Oriol Busquets from Barcelona

FC Twente boss Gonzalo García has spoken of his suprise at being able to land Barcelona B midfielder Oriol Busquets on loan.

The 20-year-old is expected to complete a temporary move to the Eredivisie early next week, and Garcia said he expects the youngster to fit in well.

“Of all the interested clubs, we had the least money to spend, so I am surprised by his arrival,” he said.

“Maybe it helps that I am a Spanish trainer and that we already have four Spanish players with Aitor, Espinoza, Matos, Pleguezuelo.
