Como, coached by former Spain, Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas, gained promotion back to Italy's top tier last season by finishing second in Serie B.

It has made 41 year-old goalkeeper Reina its seventh signing of the summer transfer window.

Ex-Liverpool, Napoli and Bayern Munich shot-stopper Reina, who played alongside Fabregas for Spain, joins Como after leaving Villarreal, where he had spent the last two seasons.

He has signed a one-year deal with Como, having played just twice in LaLiga last season.

It has been reported Como is also attempting to bring in former Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane, who is a free agent after leaving Manchester United.
