Diego Capel joins Genoa

Sporting Lisbon's Spanish winger Diego Capel has completed a move to Serie A side Genoa for a fee which could rise to around £920,000.

The 27-year-old had been linked with a move to a host of Premier League clubs, but has now committed his future to the Italian outfit.

"Genoa has formally agreed a transfer with Sporting for the player Diego Capel. The transfer is a permanent deal. Capel has passed a medical, and had his first training session," Capel's new club said in a statement.

Capel, who made over 125 appearances for Sevilla during a seven-year spell with the Spanish side, has two caps for his country.
