Aston Villa have signed striker Borja Baston from Swansea City on a free transfer.

Borja, a £15.5m signing from Atletico Madrid in 2016, has struggled for game-time this season and was allowed to leave Swansea because of his wages.

The 27-year-old's Liberty Stadium contract was due to expire this summer.

Borja started the campaign by scoring five goals in five matches but lost his place in Steve Cooper's side in the autumn.

The Spaniard, who also had loan spells at Malaga and Alaves, forms part of a move by Villa manager Dean Smith to strengthen his attacking options.
