Having joined on a season-long loan on deadline day, Valencia did the done thing and unveiled Alavaro Negredo to 12,000 of their fans at the Mestalla on Tuesday evening.
According to the Independent, things were going swimmingly right up until the point that Negredo was asked by the fans to kiss the badge of his new club.

Off to an absolute flyer!
