'It's an important change for me because this is my first experience here in England. I hope to do as well as possible.'

Vietto was signed by Atletico after impressing at Villarreal in 2014/15 but has struggled to repeat the form that saw him score 18 goals in 48 games there.

He began his career in his native Argentina with Racing Club under the tutelage of current Atletico boss, Diego Simeone.

He then made a move across the Atlantic to join Villarreal in August 2014, and made an instant impact scoring twice in the Europa League victory over Astana that month.

After showing good form, he then made a £18million move to Atletico in the summer of 2015 and has gone on to make 25 appearances for the club, scoring three times in all competitions.

However, he was loaned out to rivals Sevilla for part of the 2016/17 season and spent another loan spell at Valencia last term.

Vietto featured four times and scored twice for Atletico during their recent pre-season campaign and was awarded man-of-the-match after the 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
