Monday medical
Coloccini passed a medical this morning and the 23-year-old's arrival will boost coach Javier Irureta, who has been short of central defensive options since Nourredine Naybet's departure for Tottenham Hotspur FC last summer.

The curly haired centre-back should have no problems adapting to Spanish football, having excelled during loan stints with three Primera División clubs: Deportivo Alavés (2001/02), Club Atlético de Madrid (2002/03) and Villarreal CF (2003/04).
