PSV recruit Peruvian starlet

UEFA Cup contenders PSV Eindhoven have announced that 17-year-old Peru striker Reimond Manco will join the club in the summer.

Peru bow
Manco, who made his international debut in the friendly defeat by Bolivia on 6 February, joins from Club Alianza Lima in his homeland for an undisclosed fee on a five-year contract. The youngster becomes the second Peruvian member of the PSV squad following Jefferson Farfán's transfer from the same club in 2004.

'Technical skills'
"I am a pacy player and have technical skills," Manco told PSV's website after watching his new side draw with SC Heerenveen last night. "I can play in midfield on either wing, but my favourite position is the right wing. I don't want to talk too much right now, though. The fans will come to know me better when I move to Eindhoven in summer."

Two starts
Manco has made 16 appearances for Alianza Lima, though just two have been from the start. The Eredivisie leaders face Helsingborgs IF in the UEFA Cup Round of 32 first leg in Eindhoven on Wednesday.
