Rams swoop for Spanish star

31 August 2010 18:30
Derby have signed Spanish striker Alberto Bueno on a season-long loan from Real Valladolid. The highly-rated 22-year-old, who came through the Real Madrid youth system, watched the Rams 2-2 npower Championship draw against QPR at Pride Park on Saturday. Bueno and Valladolid president Carlos Suarez were then shown around the club's Moor Farm training ground on Sunday. He has now teamed up with the rest of the Derby first-team squad at their training camp in Marbella. "We are delighted to welcome Alberto to Derby. It is a real coup for us that we have managed to bring him here - a lot of hard work has gone into this deal and it is great news we have managed to secure his signature because other teams across Europe were interested in him," said Derby boss Nigel Clough. "He is going to need time to adapt to the English game, but we believe he will bring something to our team and make an impact."
