Betis swoops in for Vargas

Real Betis has completed its eighth signing of the summer with the acquisition of free agent Juan Manuel Vargas.

Peru international Juan Manuel Vargas has signed a two-year deal with Real Betis following his release from Fiorentina last season.

The 31-year-old struggled to break into the first team at Artemio Franchi in 2014-15 and was not offered a new deal following the expiration of his contract.

Vargas' lack of club football did not stop him playing a regular part in Peru's journey to the semifinals of the Copa America - where it lost to eventual champion Chile.
