Barcelona defender Jordi Alba has insisted that he can't wait for the new season after joining the club from Valencia on a five-year deal.

The 23-year-old, who completed his move following the conclusion of Euro 2012, has admitted his excitement ahead of the new campaign.

"I want to win titles. I think we are lucky that Barca are so big right now, and playing so well and winning titles. I'm here now and I'll try to win us even more," Alba told the club's official website.

"I think Barca have the best players, have the fans' favourite playing philosophy and have other things that no other team has.

"Tito [Vilanova] and his team know me perfectly well and know where I play. I don't think I have to tell them where I can play, they already know."

Alba left Barcelona's youth academy in 2005.
