Swansea's Borja Baston will justify his club record £15.5m fee, insists manager Francesco Guidolin

Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin is confident Borja Baston will justify his record fee and prove to represent good value for money.

Borja joined Swansea from Atletico Madrid in a £15.5million deal on Thursday.

The transfer fee for the 23-year-old Spanish striker exceeds the £12m Swansea paid for Wilfried Bony in the summer of 2013.

But Guidolin said he did not believe the fee will weigh heavily on Borja, who has signed a four-contract at the Liberty Stadium after scoring 18 goals in 36 La Liga appearances on loan at Eibar.
