Busquets: Griezmann has settled in well and he'll make Barcelona better Barcelona Spoke ahead of facing Vissel Kobe

Sergio Busquets has revealed that Antoine Griezmann has settled in well with his new teammates after completing his move to Barcelona.

Given how the Frenchman rejected Barcelona last year, there were doubts over how warm a welcome he would receive from the dressing room.

"Bringing in good players is going to make us better as a group and, in the end, [Ernesto Valverde] is the one who's going to have it tough when it comes to picking the team, but these are good problems [to have]," Busquets said about the new signings.

"We all have to work to get used to each other and improve, not just Griezmann because he comes from another club.

"We have to come together, and the three new signings are integrating well, getting used to their new philosophy and dressing room.

"They are integrating very well, they're great teammates and it's a pleasure for us."

Busquets and Barcelona will go up against Andres Iniesta's Vissel Kobe on Saturday in the final game of their tour of Japan.

"Andres means so much for us," Busquets noted.

"I've always said: for players that are coming up from the academy, having the support of players like Andres makes it so much easier, on and off the pitch.

"It's not just this, we have to recognise the years we spent together at Barcelona and with the national team.

"It's amazing to be able to see him in his new chapter. Tomorrow will be weird and we wish him all the best in this adventure."

Busquets' position in the Barcelona team is now under threat from new signing Frenkie de Jong, but the Spaniard welcomes competition for places.

"He's adapted very well," he said about De Jong.

"We saw what he did last season with Ajax and we know that we've signed a brilliant player.

"I'm very happy that there's competition, that we have such a good player with us and that we can improve.

"At the end of the day, it will be the coach that decides where everyone plays."

After a difficult couple of years at the Camp Nou, Ousmane Dembele is exciting Busquets ahead of the new season.

"It's still early days but the way which he's come back [for pre-season] is positive and we hope he can continue in this way," Busquets stated.

"It's hard for everyone to move to a new club and let's hope it goes better because he's a player that has a lot to give us, he's in incredible condition and we're expecting a lot from him."
