Sevilla sign Alexis from Valencia

Sevilla announced the agreement for the 25-year-old, subject to a medical, on their website on Tuesday. Local media reported the fee at around 5 million euros.

Alexis, who is set to sign a five-year contract, joined Valencia from Getafe in 2007 but never established a regular place.

Sevilla said on Sunday they had agreed to sell France defender Squillaci to Arsenal subject to a medical.
