The 22-year-old left back spent last season on a successful loan deal at Italian Serie A's Roma soccer club.


"His pace on the left makes him a threat going forward as does his excellent technical quality on the ball，" Barca said in a statement.


Digne was part of Didier Deschamps' 23-strong France squad for Euro 2016， but didn't play a single minute.

NEW DELHI, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- Indian Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has decided to hold meetings with chiefs of the Army, Navy and Air Force and the defense secretary daily to ensure quick decision-making in her ministry.


"Daily morning meetings with the three services chiefs and a separate daily meeting with the defense secretary have been formatted as a new practice for quick decision-making," the Indian Defense Ministry said in a statement late Monday evening.


With the chiefs of Army, Air Force and Navy and the defense secretary, Sitharaman "will review defence preparedness and allied issues of strategic interests," the statement said.


Previous defense ministers met the chiefs of the three armed forces once a week.


The defense minister will also hold meetings of the Defense Acquisition Council, the highest decision making body on defence procurement, once every two weeks. Earlier the Council met once per month.


Sitharaman formally assumed charge as India's first full-time woman defense minister last Thursday.


"I will be the defense minister round-the-clock," 58-year-old Sitharaman said after taking over from her predecessor.


Spelling out her priorities, the defense minister said she would ensure armed forces preparedness, speedy implementation of defense deals and defense production with focus on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Make in India" initiative.


Sitharaman was elevated as defense minister, one of the top four ministries, in the last cabinet reshuffle by Modi earlier this month. She was earlier India's commerce minister.


Though she is the first full-time woman defense minister, Sitharaman is, however, the second woman to hold charge of the ministry since Indira Gandhi, India's first woman prime minister who had held the defense portfolio for some time.

YANGON, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- Three more people have died of seasonal influenza AH1N1-2009, also known as swine flu, over the past three days, bringing the total death toll to 33 as of Wednesday, official media reported Thursday.


More than 300 patients were confirmed for being infected with the virus across the country since the outbreak of the disease on July 21.


However, more than 210 patients have already been discharged from hospital after treatment, the report said, adding that the Ministry of Health and Sports has sent rapid respond teams to the affected areas to control the spread of the virus.


Meanwhile, prices of chicken and duck continued to fall by half in markets of Myanmar's commercial city of Yangon recently due to the impact of the influenza.


The ministry has urged all the people to follow its guidelines to protect against the seasonal influenza and to receive medical examination at the nearest health department if they experience any of the virus' symptoms.


In last month's rainy season, Myanmar also faced another influenza attack, namely H5N1 (bird flu), leaving 5,000 chickens culled.


The bird flu occurred on July 26 in Dawei township, southern Tanintharyi region.
