Sarabia, who has a contract until June 2024 at the Parc des Princes, is likely to be a regular starter at Julen Lopetegui's side after the completion of the cut-price £4.4 million deal. Along with the ability to operate on either flank, he is also adept at featuring in a withdrawn forward role behind the striker.
