Sevilla Lands Ligue 1 Defender

Spanish club Sevilla has officially announced the signing of center-back Arouna Sangante from French side Le Havre. The 24-year-old Senegalese defender, who captained the northern French team, arrives at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on a free transfer. This move marks Sangante's first club outside of Le Havre in senior football, having already made 147 appearances and scored 7 goals for the Normandy-based team.

The Dakar-born defender has yet to make his debut for the Senegalese national team, though he was called up for two matches in 2024. However, he was unable to play due to a physical issue. Sevilla finished the La Liga season in 13th place, just one point above the relegation zone.
