Former England striker Gary Lineker joins LaLigaTV talent line-up after leaving BT Sport

Former England captain and Barcelona striker Gary Lineker has signed a multi-year deal to present Spanish football on LaLigaTV from 2021-22 season and beyond.

Lineker, who has fronted the BBC's football coverage for more than two decades, stepped down as BT Sport's presenter for the Champions League after six years in the role at the end of last season.

He revealed at the time that he rejected a new deal with BT, saying he wants to spend more time with his family, including plans to go follow boyhood club Leicester City around Europe after they qualified for the Europa League once again.
