Dundee United today completed the signing of Spanish striker Francisco Sandaza on a three year contract. Subject to international clearances being received, the player will travel back to Scotland to join in pre season training next week.
The 23 year old has been with La Liga side Valencia CF for six years, playing with Valencia B, Mestalla, and last season scored 23 goals for the team. With the player out of contract at the end of the season, Manager Craig Levein was alerted to his availability and negotiations to bring the player to Tannadice were completed today. The highly recommended striker will travel back to Scotland to join in pre season training at the end of next week.
Craig Levein said, "It's been well known that I was seeking to bring in two forwards before the start of the season and I've been delighted to be able to secure the services of Warren Feeney and now Francisco Sandaza at this early stage of our pre season schedule.
"Francisco comes highly recommended by two of my trusted contacts and has been watched many times over the last year. He will add pace and height to the side and his abilities will complement and strengthen our attack. I'm sure he will be a big success at Tannadice and that he will be very popular with our fans."
