BARNSLEY boss Simon Davey has completed a double signing swoop designed to bolster the club's midfield next season.
Argentine Hugo Roberto Colace and Frenchman Mounir El Haimour have both agreed moves and now need international clearance to settle the formalities.
Colace is a 24-year-old defensive midfielder. He arrives from Newell's Old Boys and has won youth caps for his country and had a spell on loan at top Brazilian club Flamengo last season.
He played alongside Premier League stars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano in the Under-20 Argentine team in the 2003 Under-20 World Cup.
El Haimour is 27 and from Swiss club NE Xamax.
Barnsley have paid an undisclosed fee for the former Spartak Alania player.
