Sevilla announce Luis Muriel deal

Sevilla complete the signing of Sampdoria's Colombian forward Luis Muriel on a five-year deal.

Sevilla have completed the signing of Sampdoria forward Luis Muriel on a five-year deal.

On Saturday, it was revealed that the La Liga outfit had agreed a club-record deal - believed to be £17.7m - for the 26-year-old forward.

Muriel has previously been linked with Premier League duo Everton and West Ham United, but Sevilla have boosted their squad for the 2017-18 campaign with the signing of the Colombian international.

Muriel joined Sampdoria from Udinese in 2015, and has also represented Udinese, Granada and Lecce since moving to Europe from Colombian club Deportivo Cali in 2010.

The forward is also a 15-time Colombian international, although he has only found the back of the net once for the South American nation.
