He found a replacement for the departed attacking leader of last season Julio Baptistai. Brazil, who will wear the Madrid shirt next season, will be replaced by the legionnaire Fredericas Kanoute.
Born in France, but representing the Mali national team, the striker cost the Spaniards £4.4 million. The footballer signed a four-year contract.
The 27-year-old player became the second powerful striker acquired by Sevilla in the last 7 days. At the end of last week, the Spanish team rented out the Argentine Javier Saviola who did not find a place in the team for a year. These two footballers should be the main attackers in the Sevilla team.
Playing for the Tottenham team, F. Kanoute scored 21 goals in 73 matches. However, at the end of last season, the attacker refused to go on a tour of the Mauritian Islands for personal reasons, thus deteriorating the relationship with the team management.
F. Kanoute, who also played for the French youth national team, started his career in his home country's team in 1997. After three successful seasons, the footballer was acquired for £3.7 million. Two years ago, for almost the same amount, F. Kanoute moved to Tottenham.
