Scottish striker Ure makes £5.5m Sevilla move
Sevilla announce £5.5m move, rising to potential £7.6m, for former Scotland youth international striker Robbie Ure to join from Swedish club IK Sirius.
Sevilla have signed Scottish striker Robbie Ure from IK Sirius with an initial fee of £5.5 million. The 22-year-old completed his medical on Monday and signed a five-year contract at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. The La Liga club will pay an additional £2.1 million in add-ons. Ure will be the third Scottish-born player to play for Sevilla, joining Ted McMinn in the 1980s and Duncan McVean Thomson in the 1915-16 season.
Former manager Jock Wallace and the club's first president, Edward Farquharson Johnston, are also among those mentioned. Ure, a former Scotland Under-19 international, has been in high demand after scoring 20 goals and providing three assists in 20 matches for Sirius this season. Before moving to Sweden, he played for Rangers and Anderlecht.
His impressive performances have helped Sirius climb to the top of the Allsvenskan table, with a 12-point lead. Ure is yet to commit to a national team and prefers to wait for a Scotland call-up.
