Luis Fabiano signs new Sevilla contract

Luis Fabiano has signed a new two-year contract with Sevilla.

The 29-year-old joined from Porto in 2005 and has been a prolific goalscorer during his five years in Spain, as well as helping Sevilla win two UEFA Cups, two Copa del Reys and the European and Spanish Super Cups.

Fabiano had been linked with a summer move to Tottenham.

Luis Fabiano, who has struck 95 goals in official games for Sevilla, said: "It's a very happy day. This is my home, I've been here six seasons and I will try to continue scoring goals and continue making history for Sevilla. It's a very special day for me.

"My first option was to renew with Sevilla. I rejected many offers and there were many interested teams. My desire was always to be here and what's true is that we have made a great effort to renew the contract."

He added: "Sevilla have given me everything. When I arrived here the fans didn't think much of Luis Fabiano, because at my two previous teams in Europe (Porto and Rennes) things didn't go well.

"But here I've returned to the national team, I've won many titles...I owe a lot to Sevilla, that's the truth."
