Almeria have secured the signing ofReal Madrid youngster Sergio Arribas, tying the 21-year-old into a six-year Ԁєɑł in Andalusia.
Arribaswas highly-rated byReal Madrid, and captained their Castilla side last season. Contributing to a total of 27 goals, some regarded him as the best player in the third tier last season, but ahead of this season he was told to look for a new home byLos Blancos. Given the competition in the wide attacking positions, Arribas was unlikely to see much game time with the first team, and was now too good for Castilla.
The likes of Borussia Dortmund were linked with his signature, but Almeria have pounced to seal an €8m Ԁєɑł, althoughReal Madridwill retain a 50% sell-on fee.
He could provide a crucial creative spark forAlmeriathis season, and if they can help him reach his potential, they would likely have one of the best young forwards in La Liga.
