Swansea have made their second signing in as many days after capturing Argentine defender Federico Bessone on a free transfer from Espanyol.
The 24-year-old left-back's transfer comes hot on the heels of Mark Gower's arrival from Southend.
Swansea boss Roberto Martinez said: "He is an attacking left-sided player we've been following for a long time.
"He will fit into the British game well and has shown a great desire to sign for Swansea."
Meanwhile, other new-recruit Gower admitted that the chance to return to the Championship was too good to turn down.
The 29-year-old penned a long-term deal with the Swans after ending his five-year stay at Southend and is looking forward to leaving League One behind.
He said: "Playing in the Championship again played a big part in my decision to come to Swansea.
"It's an important stage of my career and I am looking for some success with Swansea.
"Swansea are a footballing side and if they can pass the ball about like they did last season then they will dominate sides.
"Roberto Martinez has a clear vision for the club and I want to be part of it."
