Sevilla sign French talent Lenglet

Spanish side Sevilla have signed 21-year-old French defender Clement Lenglet from Nancy on a four-year deal, the Ligue 1 club said on Wednesday.

Spanish media put the transfer fee at five million euros ($5.2m, £4.2m) for the player capped 10 times by France at under-21 level.

The centre-back has captained Nancy on numerous occasions in the French top flight this season having been a regular in their team that won promotion in the last campaign.

Lenglet arrives at the Sanchez Pizjuan following the departure of compatriot Timothee Kolodziejczak, who has joined German side Borussia Moenchengladbach.

Sevilla, who go to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey last 16, first leg on Wednesday, will face Leicester City in the Champions League last 16 in February.
