Real Betis are bringing Javi Garcia back to the LaLiga.

The Zenit St Petersburg midfielder is today in Sevilla to sign for Betis - eight years after leaving Spain.

Former Manchester City midfielder Garcia was tied to Zenit until 2019, but is not in coach Roberto Mancini's plans and has been allowed to leave.

He will sign permanently with Betis on Monday.

Garcia becomes coach Quique Setien's ninth addition to his squad this summer.
