Dortmund agree Immobile loan deal with Sevilla

The 25-year-old has joined the Europa League holders on a temporary deal, with the club reported to have paid in the region of €3 million

Sevilla have agreed to sign Ciro Immobile on a season-long loan deal from Borussia Dortmund for a reported €3 million, subject to a medical.

The striker joined Dortmund from Torino last summer but scored just three goals last season in a difficult first campaign in the Bundesliga.

New BVB head coach Thomas Tuchel appears to have deemed him surplus to requirements, with both clubs confirming the 25-year-old will move to the Europa League holders.

"Borussia Dortmund have agreed with Spanish side Sevilla to the loan of BVB striker Ciro Immobile," BVB said in a statement on their official website.

"Accordingly, the Italy striker will join subject to mandatory medical checks and will initially spend his time at Sevilla on loan until June 30, 2016."

Sevilla coach Unai Emery is clearly hoping Immobile rediscovers the form that saw him finish as Serie A's top goalscorer in 2013-14 with 22 goals at Torino, which saw Dortmund spend €19m on him 12 months ago.
