Forget Zlatan Ibrahimovic moving to Manchester United, Spanish minnows UE Llagostera have announced the capture of the summer in the shape of... Pikachu!
The Catalan club took to Twitter to unveil one of the Pokemon franchise's most famous characters as a new signing after capturing the creature on the new popular video game, Pokemon Go.

But UE Llagostera were not just content with uploading a tweet, they have gone one step further by releasing an in-depth transcript of a fake interview with Pikachu on the club's website.
If Pikachu decides to eventually move on, mind, it's safe to say UE Llagostera won't be able to use the mantra 'the club is bigger than the player'...... - Goal
