MADRID (Reuters) - Villarreal have landed Colombian striker Carlos Bacca on loan for the season from AC Milan, replacing the departed Roberto Soldado, who joined Fenerbahce last week.

Bacca, who signed for Milan in 2015 after two seasons at Sevilla, was the Serie A side’s standout player during a disappointing season.
