Montpellier have completed a season-long loan deal for Spartak Moscow striker Lucas Barrios.
The Ligue 1 club confirmed the move on Tuesday, and have the right to buy the 29-year-old forward at the end of the campaign.
Barrios forged a reputation as a prolific striker during previous spells in Chile and Germany, but failed to recapture that form with the likes of Guangzhou Evergrande and Spartak.
After 37 goals in two seasons with Colo Colo in Chile, Barrios earned himself a move to Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund.
Barrios netted 39 league goals in three seasons at Signal Iduna Park, including 16 in 2010-11 a tally that helped Dortmund to the first of their back-to-back Bundesliga crowns.

West Brom saw their 100 per cent Premier League record in 2017-18 come to an end on Sunday as Peter Crouch rescued a 1-1 draw for Stoke City at The Hawthorns.
A first goal for the club from Jay Rodriguez just past the hour mark had looked enough to settle a low-quality encounter before Crouch levelled the scores 13 minutes from time.
West Brom won each of last season s league meetings 1-0 and the latest showdown showed few signs of being a more goal-laden affair, with neither side able to muster a clear chance in a tepid first 45 minutes.
Stoke, who performed so impressively to beat Arsenal last time out, enjoyed more of the ball in the West Midlands sunshine but were unable to create any real danger against a Baggies side that had kept clean sheets in each of t…
The Daily Star understands that Ross Barkley will complete a move to Tottenham Hotspur when the transfer window reopens in January.
The England international looked set for a switch to Chelsea on last week’s transfer deadline day only for the deal to collapse at the eleventh hour.
Reports had suggested that the twenty-three year old had failed a medical at Cobham though he moved to deny that one had even taken place.
Barkley is currently sidelined through injury with his last of his one hundred and seventy-ninth appearances for the Toffees coming in the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on the final day of last season.
He had loan spells with Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday earlier on his career while internationally he has been capped a total of twenty-t…

At one point, Relic Entertainment’s Homeworld franchise was a marvel that could stand proudly alongside other real-time strategy greats like Command and Conquer and Warcraft. After Homeworld 2, however, it somewhat fell into obscurity, partly due to its IP owner, THQ, going bankrupt. One purchase from Gearbox and the formation of Blackbird Interactive and Homeworld was back with the remasters of the first two games.
However, for a true-blue sequel to happen, it took a whopping 21 years. Homeworld 3 is finally here, though, and while it won’t necessarily blow you away, there’s enough solid sci-fi strategy goodness to keep you going.
<p c Whilst 2024 still has potential to reach the heights of all-timer 2023 in terms of amazing games, this year has had its fair share of disappointment too. A lot of disappointment centres on the anticipation caused by pre-release hype not matching the finished product, especially if the game has been long-awaited or is coming from an esteemed studio. BodyCam Firstly, kudos to the young developers behind BodyCam, an FPS dubbed the first ultra-realistic multiplayer shooter to utilise the growing bodycam gimmick – the game looks incredible. Whether fish-eye shooters gain significant popularity remains to be seen but it Sport…

Though MachineGames made a name for itself with first-person shooters, its next project is set to be a very different one from its past works. The studio has stressed on numerous occasions that the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is very much not a first-person shooter, unlike Wolfenstein, in spite of being a primarily first-person game, with puzzles, adventuring, exploration, and stealth all playing a key role.
On the combat side of things, though you can certainly fire weapons, the game places most of its focus on melee brawls, which, according to design director Jens Andersson, will entail “intentionally chaotic” fights throughout the experience.
Speaking in a recent interview with Game Rant about Indiana Jones&…
According to a recent report from Sunday Mirror, Atletico Madrid could pursue full-back Max Aarons as a replacement for Kieran Trippier.
While Trippier is hardly out of the door he has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United over the course of the last few months. Now, in the wake of Euro 2020, the Red Devils are ready to put forward an offer that they hope Atletico won’t be able to refuse.
Aarons is set to play a featured role for Norwich City in the Premier League this season after helping them on their way to promotion from the Championship. Alas, if such an offer comes in from Atletico, it’ll be pretty hard to turn down.
Trippier has proven himself to be an elite player within his position and in the next few years, it s pretty conceivable t…
Barcelona sack Setien: Cheer up Messi, there´s a new coach coming – the challenges for Barcelona´s n
Barcelona are looking for a new head coach after the Quique Setien era proved short-lived.
The sacking of Setien after seven months was unavoidable following the 8-2 drubbing by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Josep Maria Bartomeu had hoped the appointment of Setien in January would be the last the club would make before next year s presidential elections.
But Bartomeu has seen his tenure as president unravel dismally and the prospect of finding a quick fix appears daunting.
There are abundant challenges awaiting the new coach and we have assessed the most pressing among them.
Ease the burden on Messi
Lionel Messi has been captain of Barcelona since 2018, not to mention the chief goalscorer, assist provider, get-out-of-jail card …
