Toulouse, who signed Sweden global Ola Toivonen last week, will not have the option to make the deal permanent next summer.

Paris Saint-Germain have have completed the signing of Real Madrid forward Jese Rodriguez on a five-year deal.

PSG and Real Madrid have failed to disclose the final fee but did confirm that Jese has agreed a five-year deal with the Ligue 1 big spenders.

With only one year left in his contract with Real Madrid, Rodriguez made a decision to close the deal with Paris Saint- Germain, after he was initially rumored to play for English clubs, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Jese, who will work with new PSG coach Unai Emery, says “I can’t wait to begin this next challenge of my career”. “I can not wait to start this new challenge in my career”.

Other new players who will now don the PSG red and blue alongside Rodriguez, include Grzegorz Krychowiak, Giovani Lo Celso, Thomas Meunier and Hatem Ben Arfa.

Although Jese’s career at Madrid has been somewhat halted by injuries, he was once one of their most prized homegrown players. He featured infrequently in the first half of the season for Carlo Ancelotti, but found his stride after the winter break, even being strongly considered for Vicente Del Bosque’s 2014 World Cup side before tragically tearing his ACL and ending his Spain dreams. “We are very pleased with our recruitment”.
