Valencia have announced the signing of Russia's World Cup hero Denis Cheryshev, who moves to the Mestalla club on loan.
Cheryshev ended a two-year national team exile in the build-up to Russia 2018, and got his break in the starting line-up in place of the injured Alan Dzagoev.
Two goals in the hosts' 5-0 destruction of Saudi Arabia served as a prelude to a fantastic tournament for the star, who scored a total of four at the World Cup as Russia fought through to the quarter-finals.
Now he is gearing up for a season with Los Che as the club confirmed his arrival from Villarreal.
