He followed the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Filip Jorgensen and Omari Kellyman in joining Enzo Maresca's new-look side, although is set to remain with the Boca Juniors on loan for the upcoming season.

But Chelsea still aren't finished and have reportedly pulled off a surprise coup to sign Wolves winger Neto.
The Portugal international attracted plenty of interest from top clubs around Europe earlier this year for his performances in 2023.
Separate hamstring injuries derailed Neto's campaign after an impressive start to the season.
But the 24-year-old is still seen as one of the most talented young wingers in the Premier League and Chelsea fans are big fans of their next arrival.
One excited fan wrote: "What. A. Signing."
Another posted: "LET'S GOOOO."
A third said: "No Saga, no delay. We come we pay we move. That’s my Chelsea. Top work from our directors."
One other message read: "This is the fastest deal Chelsea have ever sealed. Unbelievable."
