Sevilla have become the latest club to announce a new signing with a 'quirky' video that has left most football fans fed up at the latest trend to emerge.

The Spanish side 'kidnapped' Jesus Navas and bundled him into a car to take him to the ground. Why? Because clubs feel the need to announce signings in 'fresh' and 'innovative' new ways.

The trend seemingly started this summer with Arsenal publishing a quirky quiz to announce the signing of Sead Kolasinac.

And it has escalated further by clubs confirming signings through fictional WhatsApp group chats, or even having quizzes with pictures spelling out the new signing.

Of course, these have not always been well received on social media and other clubs have made their own videos to parody others, Brentford included, with Southampton taking it one step further.

Through the door: Ollie Watkins is a Bee

The Bees Twitter feed, on the other hand, asked for a drink from supporter Josh Mahoney after his claim about Brentford not signing Ollie Watkins backfired spectacularly. GetWestLondon understands from multiple sources that Josh has been a man of his word.

QPR opted to tease the announcement of Josh Scowen in GIF form while Fulham, on the other hand, have preferred to opt for the more low key approach of just tweeting a 'signing picture' with the confirmation of a deal.

Below, GetWestLondon looks at a selection of signing announcements that either made us laugh or despair about modern football.
