PORTO (SW) - Portuguese giants FC Porto have signed the talented Brazilian Givanildo Vieira de Souza for the coming four years.

The attacker, who is 22 years old, spent the last three years playing in Japan. After a less successful spell at Consadole Sapporo, the player made a move to Tokyo Verdy where he would score 37 goals in 43 games.

This performance helped earning the player the nick name 'Hulk'.

A five million Euro transfer fee will be handed to Uruguayan side CA Rentistas, who had loaned the player out to the two Japanese outfits.
