Soares also joined in January from Southampton and impressed at right-back following the Premier League restart.

A statement on the club's website read: "We have reached agreement with both Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares to join the club on permanent deals.

"Both players joined us initially on loan in January, and after impressing on and off the pitch over the past eight months, all parties have agreed to make their moves permanent."
