MADRID, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Sevilla moved to strengthen its attack by signing Scottish striker Robbie Ure from Swedish club IK Sirius on Tuesday.
Ure arrives at the Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium for a fee of 6.5 million euros (7.5 million U.S. dollars) after scoring 31 goals in 50 appearances for IK Sirius, with 15 of those coming in 15 games in 2026.
"I think the chance to play for a very big club, a club that comes with a lot of pressure every game to play in a La Liga also is a great step for me and to take my career to the next level. I wanted to be in top class environments, some of the best and I feel like here is the place to be for me," the 22-year-old told Sevilla's official website.
He arrived in Seville on Monday to undergo his medical tests and on Tuesday signed a five-year contract with the club coached by Luis Garcia Plaza, keeping him at Sevilla until the end of 2031.
Ure has a difficult task ahead of him to provide goals and lead the line, a role filled last season by Akor Adams, who was sold to Venezia this summer.
"I think scoring goals comes down to being cool in the mind and slowing everything down and really just thinking about you and the ball. And this season I've been doing that really well. My head has been really calm in these situations. So, I hope I can continue," added Ure. ■
