Hleb wants Barca return to glory

Alexander Hleb is determined to help Barcelona return to their title-winning ways after signing a "dream" three-year contract with the Catalans.

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.
