Borja Bastón: Swansea City close to club-record deal for striker

Swansea City are on the verge of signing striker Borja Bastón from Atlético Madrid in a club-record transfer swoop.

Guidolin: "I think it is imminent"

Swans manager Francesco Guidolin has admitted that a deal for the 23-year-old is near, declaring: "I think it is close. I think it is imminent."

Bastón, who scored 18 LaLiga goals during a season-long loan at Eibar last term, is expected to join the Premier League side for £15 million (18 million euros).

This would eclipse the £12 million fee that the Welsh outfit paid for Dutchman Wilfried Bony three years ago.

Second Spanish signing in a matter of days

The move would see Bastón link up at the Liberty Stadium with fellow Spaniard Fernando Llorente, who signed for Swansea on Friday.
