Sevilla replace Gameiro with Ben Yedder

Sevilla signed forward Wissam Ben Yedder from French side Toulouse on a five-year deal on Saturday, as they look to bolster their squad following the departure of Kevin Gameiro.

Ben Yedder, 25, comes in for a cut price of just 9 million euros ($10m, £7.6m), after scoring 23 goals last season to help Toulouse dramatically avoid relegation from Ligue 1.

"Ben Yedder is a new striker of Sevilla subject to a medical," the Spanish club said on their Twitter account.

Sevilla saw Gameiro, their top scorer from last term, leave earlier on Saturday for Atletico Madrid, and have acted quickly by replacing him with another French attacker.

The reigning Europa League champions, who are now coached by Chilean Jorge Sampaoli after Unai Emery left for Paris Saint-Germain, also brought in Luciano Vietto from Atletico on a season-long loan.
