DONE DEAL: Roque Mesa excited to play for Swansea boss Clement

Las Palmas midfielder Roque Mesa has joined Swansea City.

Swansea have completed the £11million signing of Spanish midfielder Mesa on a four-year deal.

Mesa joins from Las Palmas, where he spent seven seasons and helped the Canary Islands club win promotion to LaLiga in 2015.

The 28-year-old becomes Swansea boss Paul Clement's third summer signing following Dutch goalkeeper Erwin Mulder and England Under-21 striker Tammy Abraham, signed on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

Mesa told Swansea's official site: “The manager knows me, he knows how I play and what I can contribute to the team. I'll try to make the team play.

“I know he's like (Carlo) Ancelotti – he likes to play and wants to create a different Premier League team which likes to play.

“The manager is a person who knows how to play and that's something I really like.

“I'm very happy to be here. It's a new challenge and a new adventure."
