FCK call for Alvaro Santos

FC København have signed Brazilian striker Alvaro Santos from Swedish side Helsingborgs IF.

Five-year deal
The Copenhagen club have handed a five-year contract to the 23-year-old Brazilian, who scored 35 goals in 63 games for Helsingborg. FCK are rumoured to have paid around €1.8m for a player many consider the brightest star in the Swedish Allsvenskan, although the exact figure has not been disclosed by either club.

'A complete player'
"I am really looking forward to having Santos in our squad," said FCK sporting director Hans Backe. "He is a complete player, who knows the quickest way to goal. We are already the most attacking team in the Superliga, but we have to be effective in front of goal and Santos will be an important figure in achieving that."

Rangers await
With the prospect of a game against Scottish champions Rangers FC in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, Alvaro Santos was eager to get started with his new club. "I am looking forward to playing for maybe the top club in Scandinavia," he said. "I have seen FCK play, and I am sure I will fit into their style easily."
