Villarreal midfielder Etienne Capoue 'very happy' with new contract

Villarreal midfielder Etienne Capoue is delighted with his new deal.

Capoue penned fresh terms to 2024 this week.

He told the club's website: "I'm very happy to have extended my contract with Villarreal. I'm very happy here, I have a great relationship with my team-mates and the staff at the club.

“On an individual level, the objective, like always, is to play, to enjoy life and to enjoy football. On a collective level, we are really excited about the Copa del Rey and the Conference League, but we also want to have a good season in LaLiga.

“My best moment as a Villarreal player, obviously, is the UEFA Europa League final against Manchester United. I also remember fondly the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich. No-one thought we could knock them out, and even less in their stadium, but we did it and it was an incredible night."

He added: “I'm very happy to be here for two more years. I can't wait to see everyone happy at the new Estadio de la Cerámica, where we'll win a lot of games for sure, and we will have big things to celebrate."
