Mina thrilled by "dream" Valencia switch

Santi Mina has described his move from Celta Vigo to Valencia as a "dream".

The 19-year-old striker moved to the Mestalla Stadium for around £7.1m on Saturday, signing a six-year deal with Los Che.

Mina scored nine goals in 24 appearances for Celta last season.

"It's like I am in a dream," he told Valencia's official website. "To reach a large club like Valencia so young is not easy, I know the responsibility I have.

"I will fight every day to repay the confidence shown by Valencia and my goal is to help my teammates and the coach to remain one of the best teams in Spain. I am looking forward to playing at Mestalla and will strive to repay the love they give to all the players."

Mina graduated from Celta Vigo's academy before making his senior debut in 2013.
