Box-to-box midfielder
The versatile 20-year-old midfielder arrives at Setúbal from French club FC Metz, where he had been based for two seasons. "Things did not work out as I had hoped in France. Here I know that I will get the chance to do what I like best, which is to play football," he said, adding: "I am what is known as a box-to-box midfielder, I can run all day, but I will play wherever the coach asks me."
