PSG have completed the signing of Spain's World Cup final hero Ferran Torres from Barcelona for £42.7m.
Torres etched his name into the history books by scoring the only goal of the final in extra-time as Spain defeated Argentina.
The forward was a prime target for PSG, despite their other signings in this position which includes Maghnes Akliouche.

In 207 matches for FC Barcelona, Torres netted 65 times, including in the Copa del Rey final victory against Real Madrid - one of six major honours he won in Spain.
The transfer potentially frees up some funds for Barcelona's pursuit of Manchester City midfielder Rodri.
City rejected a £55m bid from Barcelona for Rodri last week but the Catalan giants remain determined to sign him and are considering their next move as talks remain ongoing.
