Portugal defender Ricardo Costa has completed his move to Valencia.

Los Che have agreed a four-year contract with the 29-year-old Costa and he will join the Spanish club on July 1.

Costa, who spent the last few months at Lille having joined the French outfit from Wolfsburg, is set to be part of Portugal's World Cup squad this summer.

Valencia have wasted little time in starting their preparations for next season, having been assured of a third-place finish this campaign even before yesterday's final-day win over Tenerife.

Last week, Valencia secured the services of coach Unai Emery for next term and also announced they had reached an agreement to sign Turkey international Mehmet Topal from Galatasaray.
