FC Metalist Kharkiv has signed a four-year contract with Argentine winger Alejandro Gomez and a one-year contract with Ukrainian midfielder Pavlo Ksionz, the club's press service has reported.

"I had offers from Inter, Fiorentina and Atletico Madrid, but Metalist was the most persistent club and won the fight for me, therefore I'm here," the press service quoted Gomez as saying.
