Southampton Football Club can confirm striker Guido Carrillo has moved to Spanish side Elche on a free transfer, after an agreement was reached to terminate his contract at St Mary’s.

The 29-year-old forward moves to the La Liga team, who won promotion into the top-flight via the play-offs in 2019/20, marking their return to Spain’s elite division after a five-year absence.

Elche have made a solid start to the current campaign, winning one and drawing one of their opening three matches.

Carrillo, whose contract at Southampton had been due to expire next summer, made ten appearances for the club following his arrival from AS Monaco in 2018.

The club thanks Guido for his efforts during his time at Southampton and wishes him well for the future.
