Somoza heads back to Velez Sarsfield
Villarreal have agreed a deal to sign Argentine starlet Damian Escudero from Velez Sarsfield.
Escudero has accepted a five-year contract with Villarreal, who will be competing in next season's UEFA Champions League.
The midfielder is still to undergo a medical with the Spanish club, while the fee is reported to be in the region of 5million euros (£4million).
The 21-year-old had made 70 first-team appearances for Velez and was also a member of the Argentina squad which won the Under-20 World Cup last year.
With Escudero arriving at Villarreal, Leandro Somoza has been allowed to link up with Velez on loan next season.
