Sevilla have completed the signing of Bordeaux defender Jules Kounde.

Kounde has become the most expensive signing in Sevilla's history after joining from Bordeaux on a five-year deal for a fee of 25m.

The French centre-back, 20, has been on Monchi's agenda for a while and such were his performances in Ligue 1 last season that the Andalusians have not hesitated paying 25m, which surpasses the 21.5m they paid for previous record signing Luis Muriel, albeit with a significantly lower salary.
