Valencia have signed Lucas Orban from Bordeaux on a five-year contract.
The 25-year-old, who has become Valencia's sixth major signing of the summer, is expected to be presented as a Los Che player later this afternoon.
The versatile defender started his career with River Plate, before making the move to France last summer.
A number of European clubs had been linked with a move this summer, but the Spanish outfit have swooped to land Orban on a long-term deal.
