The 6ft 5in keeper is the club's eighth summer signing following the additions of Reece James, Juan Delgado, Ashley Fletcher, Pol Valentin, Di'Shon Bernard, Bambo Diaby and Anthony Musaba.

Vasquez was in attendance at Hillsborough to see Wednesday's Championship loss to Southampton on Friday evening.

Munoz said: “He’s a young keeper from Milan and he is a very good goalkeeper.

"Right now our back line is ready, we sign some players, but also our keepers. We need to have a stronger squad. They need to have some competition in some places.

“When we have that competition, it’s better for everybody. It makes sure everybody in our team must give 100 per cent."
