Maxi Gomez is in Valencia for a medical Valencia His move is imminent

Maxi Gomez is set to become a new Valencia player and the forward has arrived in the city to undergo his medical and complete his move.

The Uruguayan has been expected to leave Celta Vigo this summer and Los Che seem to have won the race to land him, beating off competition from West Ham United.

Once his medical is completed and the contract is signed, he will leave again to enjoy his post-Copa America holidays.

The player and his family arrived at 09:30 CEST on Thursday and were met by a club employee who then took him into the city to move things along.

Valencia's agreement with Celta will see them pay 14.5 million euros, while Santi Mina will move in the other direction on a permanent transfer and Jorge Saenz will go on a two-year loan.
