La Liga outfit Villarreal have announced a deadline day deal for a member of the attacking ranks at Olympique Lyonnais.
The player in question? Georges Mikautadze.
The name of frontman Mikautadze has been a prominent one in the headlines surrounding Villarreal for some time now.
This comes after word was forthcoming that, amid their search for fresh blood following the departures of all of Yeremy Pino, Thierno Barry and Álex Baena, the Yellow Submarine had earmarked the Georgian as the ideal addition.
Talks, in turn, had long been kicked into gear with the aforementioned Lyon.
And as alluded to above, mere hours out from the transfer deadline, Marcelino and co. have finally landed their man.
As per a statement across Villarreal’s website and social media platforms:
‘Villarreal CF and OL have reached an agreement for the transfer of Georges Mikautadze. The Georgian striker will be a Yellows player for the next six seasons, until June 2031.’
