Madrid (AFP) – Sevilla have tied down Spanish international goalkeeper Sergio Rico by extending his contract to 2021, the club announced on Monday.

The 23-year-old has “assured he remains with the team he has been with all his life for at least the next four years,” Sevilla said in a statement.

Despite his tender age, Rico already has a wealth of experience with 129 first team appearances and having helped Sevilla to win two Europa League titles in 2015 and 2016.

Rico has also become a regular in the Spanish squad as deputy to Manchester United’s David de Gea.
