Official: "Swansea City" acquires striker B. Baston for a record club amount

"Swansea City" officially confirmed the acquisition of 23-year-old forward Borja Baston from Madrid's "Atletico" club for £15.5 million sterling. The Spaniard, who cost a record sum for the "Swans" club, signed a four-year contract. The former "Atletico" player will wear the number 10 jersey in his new club. B. Baston spent his entire career with the "Atletico" team, but he never really had a chance to shine in the main team. Since 2011, the forward has been loaned to various clubs in Spain. Last season, he played in the first team of "Eibar" and scored 18 goals in 36 matches in the "La Liga" championship.
