Helder Postiga completes transfer to Valencia

Portugal international striker Helder Postiga has completed a move to Valencia from relegated side Real Zaragoza for a fee thought to be €3m, with an extra €500k if the striker scored 15 goals or more next season.

Postiga comes as a replacement for Roberto Soldado, who departed Valencia two weeks ago to join Andre Villas Boas' Tottenham Hotspurs for £26m. 


The Portugal striker scored 14 goals in 37 La Liga games last season as Real Zaragoza battled unsuccessfuly against relegation. 


Valencia boss Miroslav Djukic is in the market for another striker to bolster a depleted front line, with Spain U20 striker Paco Alcacer sidelined with injury, and Brazilian Jonas the only other recognised center forward.
