Seville clinch Iago Aspas from Liverpool on a loan deal

Iago Aspas made only five EPL appearances for the Reds last season

Seville have secured the services of Liverpool forward Iago Aspas on a season long loan deal, according to reports.

The 26-year-old Spaniard is expected to be officially presented at the club's Sanchez Pizjuan stadium on Monday. The deal also comes with an option for the La Liga side to offer the ex-Celta Vigo man a three-year permanent contract on expiry of the loan.

This move will expectedly give Aspas a clean slate and a chance at restarting his career after it nearly came to a halt at Merseyside.

The Moaña born forward joined Liverpool only last summer on a £9 million deal from Celta Vigo. However, his first year in England was filled with misery for Aspas as he failed at adapting to English conditions, making a mere five appearances for the Kops in which he failed to find the back of the net even once.

Speaking to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, Aspas share his thoughts about his imminent move and his experience in English football: "My experience in the Premier League was fabulous on a collective level, but on an individual level, it was very hard for me, because I went from playing all the time to not playing at all.

"Perhaps I struggled to adapt, I'm not going to kid myself, but above all our striking partnerships, which Luis Suarez was a part of, scored 50 goals," said the Galician.

"They produced spectacular performances and so it was very complicated for me to get into the team."

Aspas will face competition from Kevin Gameiro and Carlos Bacca at Seville, who had impressive first seasons at the La Liga side last term. He, however, feels that he will be able make his mark in Unai Emery's side, returning to the league where he scored 46 goals in 136 games for Celta Vigo.

"All I want to do is play football and Sevilla have given me that opportunity, and now I hope to be able to pay them back on a big scale," he said.

"Sevilla deserve to be in the Champions League after the last few seasons they have had. I hope to play as often as possible, and I hope to spend many years in Seville."
