Alaves have signed forward Bojan Krkic on a season-long loan from Stoke City.
Former Barcelona man Bojan has returned to Spain to temporarily link up with Alaves, having spent the second half of last season on loan to German club Mainz.
Bojan signed for Stoke in the summer of 2014 and earned a new contract in February 2016 -- despite a long spell out through injury -- but following the arrivals of Jese Rodriguez and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, he has fallen down the pecking order.
