We have reached agreement with both Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares to join the club on permanent deals.
Both players joined us initially on loan in January, and after impressing on and off the pitch over the past eight months, all parties have agreed to make their moves permanent.
Spanish defender Pablo signs from Brazilian side Flamengo. He made three appearances for us before his ankle injury during the Premier League match at Manchester City - the first fixture after the restart.
The 26-year-old joined Flamengo from Manchester City, where he had been since 2016. The left-footed central defender spent his time with City on three different season-long loan spells – in Spain with Girona for the 2016/17 season, then to the Netherlands with NAC Breda in 2017/18, before returning to Spain for the 2018/19 campaign with Deportivo La Coruna.
