Michael Laudrup made his first signing as Swansea manager today with the £2million capture of Genoa centre-half Jose Manuel Flores.
The 25-year-old completed his medical yesterday and has agreed to a three-year contract, subject to international clearance.
“I am very happy to be here,” Flores (above) said. “I know I am joining a club that has been growing and is still ambitious to go even higher.”
