Mathieu agrees Valencia move

Valencia have confirmed the signing of Frenchman Jeremy Mathieu from Toulouse.

The left-sided 25-year-old has agreed a three-year deal with the Primera Division outfit and will join Los Che on July 1.

Valencia sporting director Fernando Gomez said of Mathieu: "He's a player who has all the characteristics that we like, both the coach and myself.

"He has good presence. He's a similar size to (Valencia left-back Emiliano) Moretti but is better technically."
