Few doubt that Frenkie de Jong's style is right for Barca. After a first season with ups and downs, De Jong has had to adapt to three different midfield positions but he's been a starter from the word go.

Dutch coach Ronald Koeman spoke to Catalunya Radio about the midfielder.

 

"De Jong is a young player and you have to give time to them. I'm really sure that in no time he'll show his quality and level at Barcelona, as he did at Ajax and with the Dutch national team. I've no doubt that he's the player Barca need in midfield."
