Championship club Aston Villa have signed Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Andre Moreira on a season-long loan deal.
The 22-year-old, who has represented Portugal at under-21 level, becomes Villa's first signing of the summer.
He has yet to make a La Liga appearance since joining Atleti in 2014, but has had loan spells with Moreirense, Uniao da Madeira, Belenenses and Braga.
"It's the perfect opportunity at the right moment. It's a big move for me," he told the club website.
Villa recently secured new investment from billionaire businessmen Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris, who have reportedly enlisted super-agent Jorge Mendes to assist in their recruitment.
