Venezuelan youth star Pablo Camacho has joined Espanyol on a season-long loan.

Camacho, 18, featured in the U20 national team that qualified for the World Cup in Egypt.

Following a string of impressive performances at Deportiva Italia, the talented youngster became a target for a number of Primera Division sides.

Despite interest from both Sevilla and Osasuna, Espanyol boss Mauricio Pochettino won the race to capture his signature.

Relishing the opportunity to play in La Liga, Camacho admitted his excitement in anticipation of his proposed move.

Happy

"Everything has been arranged by my agent and I will be travelling to Spain this week to have my medical exams," he said.

"After the U20 Championships, several teams from Spain expressed an interest in me, including Sevilla and Osasuna.

"But an agreement has been done with Espanyol and I am happy about that."
