Villarreal signs Cheryshev

Villarreal has signed former loanee Denis Cheryshev from Real Madrid.

Denis Cheryshev will be back in yellow next season after agreeing to a deal to sign for Villarreal from Real Madrid.

The two La Liga clubs agreed to a fee before the Russian star signed a five-year deal with the club he played for during the 2014-15 season.

During his previous stint, he featured in 40 games across all competitions, scoring seven goals and assisting 10.

He returned to Madrid last season, but failed to work his way into coach Zinedine Zidane's plans, eventually being loaned out in January to Valencia.
