Las Palmas set to complete deal for Barcelona midfielder

Las Palmas are finalising a deal for Barcelona midfielder Sergi Samper.

Samper will arrive on-loan at Las Palmas for the season with the option of a permanent transfer.

The midfielder moves to Las Palmas as a replacement for Roque Mesa, now of Swansea City.

Samper spent last season on-loan with Granada, where he struggled to make an impact, but is understood to have embraced this latest loan option.

He was expected in Gran Canaria on Wednesday to complete his switch.
