Barcelona to sign 'next Dani Alves'

The Brazilian will officially join the La Liga leaders on 1 July for a fee of £10.5m, with Emerson signing a five-year deal.
Barcelona's official website said the 20-year-old has been likened to the club's former wing-back Dani Alves because 'he likes to go forward and support the attack'.

Meanwhile, former Portsmouth midfielder Sulley Muntari has completed a move to Spanish second division side Albacete.
The 34-year-old former Ghana international had been without a club since leaving Deportivo La Coruna last summer.
Muntari played for Portsmouth from 2007 until 2008 and also played for Sunderland and both Milan clubs.
