Barcelona new boy Digne undergoes nasal surgery

Barcelona have confirmed that new signing Lucas Digne had surgery on Wednesday - the day that his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain was announced.

The 22-year-old has agreed a five-year deal with the LaLiga champions, after a transfer fee that could rise to €20.5million was agreed with Unai Emery's side.

Barca confirmed that the France international "underwent a rhinoseptoplasty yesterday to amend an old nasal fracture", though his medical checks are not expected to be affected.

Digne is Luis Enrique's third signing of the transfer window, following the €25m arrival of compatriot Samuel Umtiti and the return of Denis Suarez to Camp Nou.
