Real swoop for Boris

The 22-year-old has spent all his career with Oviedo, but following their relegation last season he felt it was time to move on.

Sociedad have now swooped for the centre half, who can also operate in a defensive midfield role.

Boris has agreed a four-year contract after a fee in the region of ‚é¼1.6 million was agreed by Real.

Heavily indebted Oviedo, though, will not receive any of the money as it will go staight to the Spanish footballing authorities, who will distribute it to their creditors.
