Antony has been enjoying his time in Spain since completing a permanent move away from Manchester United.
The Brazilian left United on deadline day to join Real Betis on a permanent deal. Antony returns to Seville after spending the second half of last season on loan with the La Liga outfit.
United agreed a deal worth an initial €22million (£19million) with Betis for Antony, with the potential for another €3million (£2.6m) in add-ons. United also included a significant sell-on clause in the deal, which will see them receive 50 per cent of any profit Betis may make from a future sale.
The move came after Antony had informed United of his desire to leave the club this summer. The Brazilian is now enjoying life back in Spain and has already been making a strong impression during Betis training sessions.
Betis posted a video from their training session this week which showed Antony taking part. The former United winger could be seen finding the back of the net with a volley inside the penalty area.
Antony will be hoping to make his first appearance of the season for Betis when they take on Levante in La Liga on Sunday afternoon. The 25-year-old scored nine goals and provided five assists for Betis during his loan spell last term and will be determined to add to that tally this term.
