Barcelona have completed the signing of Arturo Vidal, as the Chilean midfielder appeared in Barca colours for the first time after completing his £27million move from Bayern Munich.

The midfielder, who joined the La Liga giants on Friday, took part in a photo shoot on Sunday as part of his official unveiling at the Nou Camp, where he could be seen posing in club colours.

He was all smiles as he clutched a Barcelona ball and stopped for pictures in front of the club crest in the Nou Camp megastore.

Vidal will also fulfil a full programme of media duties on Monday as part of his presentation as a new Barcelona player.

He is scheduled to sign a contract in the Presidential Suite around 11:30am before an unveiling in the main stand and pictures on the Nou Camp pitch in the afternoon.

Vidal's arrival strengthens a Barcelona midfield that has lost Andres Iniesta and Paulinho this summer. Fellow midfielder Arthur has also joined from Gremio and the pair will compete for a place alongside stalwarts Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic.
