Capdevila move confirmed

Villarreal have confirmed the signing of Joan Capdevila from Deportivo La Coruna.

Capdevila had agreed a three-year contract with Villarreal back in March, with the club now officially releasing the news.

The Spain international had spent seven seasons with Depor, but has opted for a move after the club's disappointing campaign.

His arrival at Villarreal will fill the void created by Rodolfo Arruabarrena's decision to join Greek giants AEK Athens.

The full-back will be officially presented as a Villarreal player on Wednesday and he will compete with Jose Enrique for a place in the team.
