VALERO became Albion's record transfer when he completed a £4.7million move from Real Mallorca in August 2008.

The 23-year-old playmaker penned a four-year contract, plus a further year's option in the club's favour.

The transfer eclipsed the £3.5m Albion paid Cardiff for Robert Earnshaw, who joined in August 2004.

Baggies fans got a glimpse of Valero when he impressed as a 59th-minute substitute in Mallorca's 1-1 pre-season draw at The Hawthorns prior to the 2008/09 campaign.

Valero signed for Mallorca from Real Madrid in summer 2007 and scored four times in 35 La Liga games to help them finish seventh.

He came through the ranks at the Bernabeu and played under now-England boss Fabio Capello.

His chances were limited at the Spanish giants but he boasts Champions League experience and played alongside David Beckham in a draw with Dynamo Kiev in December 2006.

The 5ft9in ace also earned nine caps for Spain Under-17s and was part of his country's Under-19s European Championship-winning squad in 2004.
