Swansea break club transfer record with £15.5m capture of Atletico Madrid striker Borja Baston

Swansea City have broken their transfer fee record by signing Atletico Madrid striker Borja Baston for £15.5million, subject to international clearance.

The 23-year-old will undergo a medical at the Welsh Premier League club on Thursday before penning a four-year contract following the £20million sale of Andre Ayew to West Ham.

The fee paid by the Swans surpassed the £12million they paid to land Wilfried Bony from Vitesse Arnhem in July 2013.
