Sevilla have signed permanently Loic Bade from Rennes.

Bade arrived on-loan in January after a previous disappointing loan at Nottingham Forest.

Sevilla announced on Friday that Bade will be at the club for at least "the next four seasons":

"In his half-season as a 'blanquirrojo' he played 27 official games, divided into nineteen La Liga matches, six in the UEFA Europa League - including the final won in Budapest against Roma - as well as two in the Copa del Rey. In them he also scored two goals of enormous value, the one that opened the scoring in the league win at Mestalla and, just a few days later, the second goal in the second leg of the UEL quarter-final against Manchester United."
