Real Valladolid have completed the signing of experienced goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez after he left West Ham United.
As reported by Marca, the shot-stopper has returned to Spain on a permanent basis to join the top flight club and he will compete with Jordi Masip for the number one spot.
Roberto joined the Hammers on a two-year deal last summer having previously been a deputy at Espanyol, but he failed to impress during his stint in East London.
The experienced goalkeeper played 10 times for the club but was criticised for his performances – his run in the team followed an injury to Łukasz Fabiański – and he was eventually replaced by third-choice David Martin.
He subsequently joined Alaves for the second half of the season in Spain and made nine appearances before his loan deal expired this summer.
He has a raft of experience throughout his career including spells with Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Olympiakos.
