Fenerbahce complete deal for Mallorca striker Guiza

Fenerbahce have completed the mega bucks signing of Real Mallorca striker Dani Guiza.

The 27-year-old joined Mallorca from Primera Liga rivals Getafe last summer and netted 27 goals last season to finish as the leading scorer in the Primera Liga.

That form helped the striker win a place in Spain's successful Euro 2008 squad where he scored twice.

Guiza was also tracked by Premier League clubs Tottenham and Portsmouth but opted to join the Istanbul giants, who will be coached by his former Spanish national boss Luis Aragones.

Guiza will travel to Istanbul on Monday to put pen to paper on a four-year contract with the Turkish side.

Neither club disclosed details of the transfer fee for the former Getafe frontman, who netted his first two international goals at the European Championships as Spain secured the country's first major trophy for 44 years.

Guiza netted in the group game against Greece and the semi-final triumph over Russia en route to glory in Austria.
