Just a few hours after unveiling French striker Thierry Henry, Barcelona confirmed on Monday that they have signed AS Monaco Ivorian midfielder Yaya Toure.

The Catalan giants didn't disclose the transfer fee but it has been rumored that it would be around 12 million euros.

The 24-year-old international midfielder arrived in Spain on Sunday to pass the medical tests and has signed a four-year-deal with Barca.

He will be officially presented by Barca on Tuesday

Toure, the younger brother of Arsenal defender Kolo Toure, is Barcelona's second summer signing after Henry as the Catalans are determined to wrap up everything next season after registering a very disappointing season without any silverware.
