Udinese excited by surprise signings Beto and Brandon Soppy | OneFootball

Udinese director Pierpaolo Marino has welcomed new signings Beto and Brandon Soppy.

Beto arrives from Portimonense, while the striker is joined by fullback Soppy from Rennes.

"I am very happy to welcome two players of great stature who we managed to bring to Udine," said director Marino in his press conference.

“They will certainly be a success at this club. Beto is a striker we had been following for some time and he recently hit the headlines, but we'd noticed him from his appearances in the lower leagues.

“He is a modern striker who, despite his strong physicality, is also fast. He reminds me of Duvan Zapata and we are a team that can make the most of his characteristics.

“As for Soppy, he is so young, but already has the characteristics of a complete player. His change of pace down the right can be devastating.

“This is an historic day, presenting two gems who we will remember in future."
