Valencia swoop for Celta Vigo goalkeeper Yoel Rodriguez

Valencia have snapped up Celta Vigo goalkeeper Yoel Rodriguez.

In a statement on their website, the club explained they would sign the 25-year-old on a permanent basis at the end of the coming season, on a three-year contract.

Celta academy product Yoel became the Galician club's undisputed number one goalkeeper last term following spells in the B team and Segunda Division outfit Lugo.

He will now compete with Brazilian stopper Diego Alves for the number one spot at Valencia, with Vicente Guaita set to leave and join Getafe.
