DONE DEAL: Sevilla complete record signing of Bordeaux defender Jules Kounde

Sevilla have completed the signing of Bordeaux defender Jules Kounde.

Kounde has become the most expensive signing in Sevilla's history after joining from Bordeaux on a five-year deal for a fee of €25m.

The French centre-back, 20, has been on Monchi's agenda for a while and such were his performances in Ligue 1 last season that the Andalusians have not hesitated paying €25m, which surpasses the €21.5m they paid for previous record signing Luis Muriel, albeit with a significantly lower salary.
