Barcelona reportedly sign Valencia and Spain full-back Jordi Alba for £11m.

Barcelona have reportedly signed Valencia and Spain full-back Jordi Alba for €14m (£11m).

The 23-year-old has apparently put pen to paper on a five-year contract at the Nou Camp following speculation linking him with a move to Catalonia throughout the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur's Gareth Bale was thought to be Barca's first-choice left-sided target but Spurs' £50m price tag saw the La Liga club divert their attention to Alba instead.

According to ESPN Soccernet, new Barca boss Tito Villanova has got his man, ahead of Manchester United, who were also believed to be interested in the Spanish international.

Alba has started in all five of Spain's Euro 2012 games ahead of Sunday's final.
