Swansea City have broken their transfer record signing Spanish striker Borja Baston on a four-year-deal in a £15m move from Atletico Madrid. The 23-year-old, who scored 18 La Liga goals on loan at Eibar last season, could play in Swansea's Premier League opener at Burnley on Saturday. Borja, who will wear Swansea's number 10 shirt, breaks the £12m fee the Swans paid for Wilfried Bony in 2013.
"There is pressure, but it is good pressure," acknowledges Borja.
"I want to repay the transfer fee paid for me with good performances and results. Hopefully I can score a lot of goals.
"It is the most important decision of my career. I want to settle and spend several years here. I am very happy to be here. I am eager to contribute to the success of the team."
The former Spain youth international, whose signing is subject to Swansea getting international clearance, arrives as the Swans look to replace Andre Ayew following his move to West Ham.
