Baggies complete Blanco capture

West Bromwich Albion have announced that they have completed the signing of winger Sebastian Blanco.

The Argentine becomes Albion's 11th summer capture after joining the club from Ukranian side Metalist Kharkiv for an undisclosed fee.

"I'm really pleased that we've managed to add Sebastian to the squad," Baggies manager Alan Irvine told the club's official website. "He's an Argentina international who joined Metalist for a lot of money. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury not long after the move, which held up his progress. "Since then, he's shown his quality. He's adept with both feet, is a nice crosser of the ball, creates chances and also scores goals."

Blanco, who signed a two-year deal with the option of a third at The Hawthorns, will wear the number 28 shirt for his new club.
