Villareal sign Soriano

Over in Spain, Villarreal have snapped up Roberto Soriano.

The midfielder has agreed a five-year deal after leaving Sampdoria.

Soriano, 25, is a full Italy international. In a message to the Samp fans, Soriano wrote: "I arrived in Genoa as a boy, a young player looking for his way.

"I leave Genoa a man and a professional: the credit for which is all to Samp and its supporters who have accompanied me in these years with care and affection."

Soriano will be presented to the Villarreal fans and media on Wednesday evening.

The Italy international joins the likes of Denis Cheryshev and Alexandre Pato in moving to El Madrigal ahead of the 2016-17 season.
