The Portuguese spoke about becoming a Celta player: “A few months ago I was told about this project and the opportunity to come here, now everything has happened very quickly. I am very excited and eager to start. Celta is a club with a long tradition in Spain.

“The Spanish league for the Portuguese, who are next door, is always a goal. I’ve always had this dream. I’m a striker who plays in the penalty area but who likes to participate in the team’s play. I like to be involved in every moment of the game.”
