Thank you Kanoute

He scored 21 goals in 73 appearances for the club, could have been better.

Always like to see him cushion the ball and does his tricks.

May have angered the management for inisiting to go to the African Nations Cup last season and then lost his form.

Scored some brilliant goals for us though.

With only 3 (or may be 2, Keane, are you still with us?) strikers left, Jol must have lined up a good replacement. Another Dutch?????

Sevilla purchase Kanoute for £4.4million



Fredi Kanoute has no fears about adapting his game to the Spanish league after completing his £4.4million transfer to Sevilla from Tottenham.

The 27-year-old Mali international has agreed a four-year deal with the Primera Liga club, who recently sold striker Julio Baptista to Real Madrid.

'I aim to adapt to football here as quickly as possible and I don't think I will have any problems,' said Kanoute.

'What I will do now is work for the team. It's impossible to say how many goals I will score but I want to work for the team which is more important.'

Kanoute explained his decision to move to Spain despite reported late interest from Newcastle.

'I decided to come here because I knew the president, the director of sport and the coach all wanted me and that is very important.

'I like the Spanish championship and I think it is a very good chance for me.'

Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido revealed the club had moved for Kanoute at the request of coach Juande Ramos.

He said: 'It was an operation that was undertaken at the wish of Juande Ramos, who asked for a player of Kanoute's characteristics.

'We have been working on this deal for a long time and it was agreed on Tuesday with the player. The deal is closed and so now is the squad.'
