Alexander Hleb is determined to help Barcelona return to their title-winning ways after signing a "dream" three-year contract with the Catalans.
Hleb joined Seydou Keita, Gerard Pique, Martin Caceres and Daniel Alves - the Catalan giants' four earlier summer signings. Barcelona officially unveiled him on Wednesday.
Going without a trophy for two seasons in a row has prompted Barca to make some major changes to the squad, and Hleb's arrival at the Nou Camp is part of a plan to return the club to its former glory.
"I want to give my best for this club. I have realised a dream. My aim is to win many trophies," said the 27-year-old.
Hleb's transfer will cost Barca an initial £11.8million, but could rise to £13.5million depending on how successful the club is during his time with them.
The Belarus international is also hopeful that his versatility will be helpful to newly-appointed Barca coach Pep Guardiola, and says he is willing to play anywhere on the pitch.
"I am ready to play in any position, I am available to the coach to play in any position, including goalkeeper," he joked during his presentation.
