Florian Lejeune has joined Alaves on a season long loan.
The Frenchman returns to Spain after playing for Eibar earlier in his career after agreeing to get a full season of game-time under his belt.
A United statement read; "Florian Lejeune has completed a loan move to Spanish
La Liga side Deportivo Alavés for the duration of the 2020/21 season.
"Lejeune will be reunited with former Magpies teammate Joselu, who arrived at the Mendizorrotza
Stadium last summer, as well as manager Pablo Machín, who coached him during his time at Girona during the 2014/15 season."
Steve Bruce has had to clear the squad after bringing in three players in the last week in Callum Wilson, Jamal Lewis and Ryan Fraser.
