The charge for the 23-year-old, who scored 18 La Liga goals on a loan  at Eibar last season, is gotten a handle on to be £15m.

The Swans have legitimately stamped related Spaniard and World Cup victor Fernando Llorente from Sevilla as they might want to supplant West Ham-bound Andre Ayew.

“I think it is close. I think it is unpreventable,” said Swansea head boss Francesco Guidolin.

“I was content with the squad before in any case I am more happy now in light of the path that, with Fernando Llorente and Borja Baston, I think we have signed two exceptional players, two essential players.”

Swansea’s past club-record expense was the £12m they paid Vitesse Arnhem for Wilfried Bony in 2013.

Borja is an Atletico youth product however has made up a appereance  for the club.
