Loaned-out Swansea City striker Borja Baston wants to stay at Malaga beyond his season-long deal after revealing his Liberty Stadium woes.

The £15.5million record signing from Atletico Madrid struggled in his debut season at Swansea, scoring just once in 18 league appearances.

The 24-year-old has since been loaned back to La Liga, joining up with Malaga as the Swans brought in Tammy Abraham on loan from Chelsea.

And it seems Borja isn't keen on returning to SA1 following the expiry of his loan. He's eager to extend his Malaga stay as long as possible after being impressed with the 'project' at La Rosaleda outfit.

"It wasn't the experience that I thought, but everything is experience and I draw good conclusions," Borja told Spanish media outlet AS, summing up his frustrating time with the Swans.

"To make a good year, everything matters.

"It was not like I expected. I arrived with a wrist injury that I suffered in pre-season with Atletico and I didn't play until week seven or eight. I was not happy, but I learned from it."

Borja then revealed his desire for Malaga to press ahead and buy him on a permanent deal in 12 months time. The initial loan is not believed to include an option to buy — with three years remaining on Borja's Swansea contract — but Malaga may choose to swoop if the frontman shines in the 2017/18 campaign.

"I would like the purchase option exercised (at Malaga)," he added.

"The important thing is to start and make it a great year, the rest will follow.

"Negotiations are always difficult but Malaga was one that was attractive to me. I want to be somewhere they want me, and here they loved me a lot.

"Many things seduced me for the project, the intention has been great from Malaga, their project has a mixture of youth and veterans of high quality."
