Barnsley manager Simon Davey has added two more overseas players to his already cosmopolitan squad at Oakwell.
The Tykes boss has landed Argentinian midfielder Hugo Roberto Colace and versatile Frenchman Mounir El Haimour in quick succession.
Colace, 24, has joined the Championship side from Newell's Old Boys, while El Haimour, 27, has signed for an undisclosed fee from Swiss side Xamax.
Referring to Colace, Davey told the club's official website: "This is a massive coup for our club.
"Hugo is a tremendous talent and has a very good pedigree after playing for the Argentinian national team right through to under-21 level.
"He is technically an outstanding footballer and we cannot wait to start work with him here."
