The next stop on Kevin Gameiro's Spanish tour is Valencia.

After short stints at Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, the 31-year-old striker joined Los Che on Monday on a permanent transfer.

AS' Davide Esteve believes the fee is around €16 million.

Gameiro will compete for minutes with Simone Zaza, Santi Mina, and fellow summer signing Michy Batshuayi.

He spent just two years in the Spanish capital, scoring 27 goals in 82 appearances across all competitions. Among his greatest accomplishments with Los Rojiblancos was his quick-trigger hat-trick against Sporting Gijon in February 2017, which, at four minutes and 43 seconds, was the fastest in La Liga in 22 years.

Gameiro crowned his short spell with a Europa League title in May.
