I thought an EPL team was also after him? Tottenham? So I'm a little surprised to see Betis snatch him up. Maybe he didn't want to make a move to England or Betis made a better offer? While Barcelona's return will seem like a drop in the bucket it's still better than nothing. I wish Sergio the best at Betis.

Tottenham, it was. They were seriously interested, but apparently Betis was his choice. His father said.
