Negredo to link up with compatriots at the Riverside

Negredo becomes the third Spaniard to sign for countryman Aitor Karanka's side this summer, after Víctor Valdés and former Los Che team-mate Antonio Barragán.

Boro have confirmed that the one-time Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid, Almería and Sevilla ace has joined up with the squad in Marbella as it continues its pre-season preparations.

In a statement, Valencia wished Negredo "the best of luck in this new phase of his career".
