Real Betis signing Leicester striker Ayoze Perez

Real Betis are signing Leicester City striker Ayoze Perez.

Perez will move to Betis in a permanent transfer.

The striker has long been wanted by Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini, who tried to sign him when in charge of West Ham.

Perez's deal with Leicester was due to expire in June and AS says the Foxes have agreed to terminate it six months early.

Villarreal were also keen, though pulled out of talks after Nicolas Jackson's move to Bournemouth collapsed due to a failed medical.
