Columbus Crew midfielder Danny Szetela has completed a move to Spanish top flighters Racing Santander, who beat out AS Roma, Brescia and Newcastle to his signature at the close of the transfer window.

According to Soccer by Ives, the New Jersey native will undergo a weekend medical before inking a three-year contract with Los Verdiblancos.

The signing of Szetela caps a strong final week of dealing that also saw Poland wing ace Ebi Smolarek and Anderlecht hit man Mohammed Tchité.

The Under-20 World Cup standout, who was set to run out of contract at season's end, joins the La Liga middlers for a $150,000 transfer fee.

Since bagging three goals at the summer tourney, Szetela had been courted by about a dozen European suitors, including Everton, Hertha Berlin and Rangers.
