Quotes:
“Has been with Porto since 2011 and was promoted to the first team this season. He was given the legendary No 2 shirt, which has been worn by captains João Pinto, Jorge Costa and Bruno Alves in the past. He was a member of the team that won the Uefa Youth League last season and is a player that has a seemingly inexhaustible energy. His technical ability is superb and he is also tactically intelligent and a modern right-back in the way that he can stay wide but also go inside to find space if needed.”
