Spanish midfielder Xavi Torres has agreed to join Perth Glory on a one-year deal in a massive coup for their A-League title aspirations.

The 30-year-old is due to fly to WA late next week.

Torres, who has made two appearances for Spanish giants Barcelona and spent the last season at Sporting Gijón, needs to pass a medical with Glory.

A visa allowing him to move to Perth and play in the A-League has been approved.

The Weekend West understands his arrival date in WA will hinge on family obligations.

His wife is pregnant and needs medical clearance to fly.

Torres will become the third Spaniard on Glory’s 2017-18 playing roster.

Perth will again boast Johnny Warren medallist Diego Castro, who will start training with the club as early as next week.

Castro’s former teammate Andreu has also joined Glory on a one-year contract.

Glory needed a midfielder after Rostyn Griffiths was sold to Uzbek side Pakhtakor Tashkent.

Torres – who came through the academy of Villarreal – played 17 games in La Liga for the Asturias side last season but couldn’t prevent them from falling back into the second tier.

He played for Real Betis in 2014-15 season as they claimed the Segunda Division title.
