Jose Canas joins Swansea on free transfer

JOSE Canas has become Swansea’s first summer signing after agreeing to join the Barclays Premier League club on a free transfer from Real Betis.

The midfielder will join when his contract expires at the end of the month and the move will be ratified once the transfer window opens on 1 July.

Last season, the 26 year old, who is expected to sign a three-year deal, helped the Seville side secure a Europa League play-off spot.

Canas will still get the chance to enjoy European competition next season as Swansea prepare to enter the Europa League following their Capital One Cup triumph.
