Real Madrid winger Denis Cheryshev has officially joined Valencia on loan until the end of the season.
Cheryshev had been linked with Liverpool and Sevilla, but is heading to the Mestalla in a bid to secure regular first team football for the remainder of the campaign.
The Russian has found featuring for Los Blancos a tough task and leaves the Bernabeu with the blessing of coach Zinedine Zidane.
The Frenchman said last night that he was happy for Cheryshev to move on to play on a regular basis.
He will link up with Gary Neville's Valencia side, who have been struggling to get going in La Liga this season.
