Official: Las Palmas keep Viera

Las Palmas have completed the permanent transfer of Jonathan Viera from Standard Liege for a reported €900,000.

The attacking midfielder, 25, has signed a three-year contract with the Primera new boys, with the option of a two-year extension, and prepares to begin his third spell with the club.

However, the cut-price fee comes at a premium as the Belgians have retained a 20 percent sell-on clause.

Viera returned to Las Palmas last January and played a key role in their promotion to La Liga, scoring seven goals in 21 matches, among them the all-important away goal in the side’s 3-1 defeat to Real Zaragoza in the first leg of their Segunda playoff final.

A Palma native, Viera began his career at Las Palmas, before joining Valencia in 2012, spending the 2013-14 campaign at Rayo Vallecano on loan and ending up at Standard Liege last summer, where he made just three appearances.
