Last updated : 12 January 2010 By Adam Bryant

The Argentinian midfielder has agreed a two and a half year contract with a 12 month option for a cut-price £1million because he only had six months left on his contract at Atletico.

“The Premier League is incredible," he said. "I have played in some English stadiums and the atmosphere is unique. It is the closest thing to Argentina.”
