Sevilla swoop for Romaric

Sevilla coach Manolo Jimenez has completed the signing of Ivory Coast midfielder Koffi Ndri Romaric from Le Mans.
The 25-year-old has agreed a five-year contract at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan and his arrival will help fill the void created by last month's departure of Mali international midfielder Seydou Keita to Barcelona.
Sevilla have reportedly paid eight million euros to land the former Beveren defensive midfielder.
"Sevilla was always my first choice," he said after rejecting a new contract to remain at Le Mans.
