Valencia have signed Barcelona midfielder Nico Gonzalez.

The Spain U21 international joins Valencia on-loan to the end of the season.

Nico moves to Valencia without a permanent option included. VCF will cover 100 per cent of his salary.

Nico is expected to see action in the opening LaLiga game against Girona.

The 20 year-old will take his first training session with Valencia on Friday.
