Barcelona have brought forward their agreement to sign Toulouse defender Jean-Clair Todibo with immediate effect.
The Spanish champions had signed a pre-contract agreement with Todibo earlier this month that was due to see the 19-year-old link up with the club on July 1.
However, they have now brought that deal forward on deadline day to ensure that Todibo will be a Barcelona player for the rest of the season.
The Frenchman has penned fresh terms on a four-and-a-half-year contract at the Camp Nou, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2022-23 campaign.
Todibo, who will be officially unveiled to fans on Friday, will wear the number six shirt recently vacated by Denis Suarez following his deadline day move to Arsenal.
The youngster is able to play at centre-back or in central midfield, and had been linked with Liverpool, Juventus and Napoli prior to his move to Barca.
