"Jesus comes to help us, to give us solutions in any front of the attack, both on the right and on the left, he is a guy who can play on both sides and even as a winger, he has done it and done it well. He is a player with good characteristics for what we want, what we are looking for and he will surely help us. He is also an experienced player," Lopetegui said.

Tecatito" was officially presented today at his new club

The player was presented today to the media and fans of the team as the club's first reinforcement for this season. 

Through a video, the player was seen arriving at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium, home of Sevilla, and not only that, the player was greeted with recorded messages from his former teammates Iker Casillas and Javier "Chicharito" Hernández.
