Atletico Madrid have signed midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia from La Liga rivals Valencia for £18million.
The 27-year-old has signed a four-year contract with Atletico and replaces Thomas Partey, who joined Arsenal just before the transfer window closed after they activated his £45million release clause.
La Liga rules allow clubs who have lost a player after their release clause was triggered to sign another player within a month provided they already play in Spain or are out of contract.
