OFFICIAL: Martial new Sevilla player

It's done! Sevilla announced the signing of Anthony Martial, who arrives at the club managed by Julen Lopetegui to play on loan until 30th June. After weeks of negotiation, Sevilla reached an agreement with Manchester United to make the transfer effective.

The French striker landed in the Andalusian capital on Tuesday to sign his new contract. He will play in La Liga until the end of the season on a loan deal that does not include an option to buy. In addition, Sevilla will pay the player's entire salary for the remaining months of the season.

The signing of Martial will be a breath of fresh air in Sevilla's attacking midfield, which has recently been hit by injuries to Suso and Lamela. This move was more than necessary to reinforce a squad that aims to maintain its chances in La Liga and the Europa League.

The French striker will play in Spain for the first time in his professional career. Furthermore, he is expected to join the team as soon as possible in order to be available as soon as possible. In fact, he will train with his teammates to prepare for Sevilla's next match against Osasuna, once the international break is over.

At 26 years of age, Martial has a wealth of experience at the highest levels of French and English football. After coming through the youth ranks at Olympique Lyon and making his first-team debut, the striker was transferred to Monaco, where he made 70 appearances before moving to Old Trafford in the 2015-16 season.

The player, capped 30 times by France, established himself definitively at the top level of European football after his arrival at Manchester United. With the Red Devils, he made 269 appearances, scoring 79 goals. However, he has not enjoyed much prominence in the current season, which is why he will go out on loan to Sevilla to continue competing on a regular basis.
