A year on after rejecting a move to the Catalan side in favour of staying at former club atletico madrid, French forward Griezmann finally signs for Barca penning a 5-year contract in a deal worth a reported €120m.

In his first statement since joining the Spanish giants, the 2018 world cup winner explains the inspiration behind his decision to join the club and pledged his commitment to the club.

In his statement the attacker acknowledged the U-turn in his first public comments since becoming a Barca player on Friday, saying he was taught as a child that opportunities can come around again.

"When I was a boy, my dad taught me that trains don't come around just once," Griezmann said in a video posted on Twitter by Barcelona.

"Now it's time to take on the challenge of a new destination. Finally, our paths cross.

"I'll defend the Barca colours with all my determination and commitment. It's our time."
