Prodigious development
The 22-year-old centre-back joins Rogério Gonçalves' side from Lima outfit Club Sporting Cristal for an undisclosed fee having caught the eye with a series of mature performances. He made his first-team debut for his hometown club in 2002 having shone with Peru Under-17s, and is now firmly cemented in the senior national side, with over 30 caps already. Braga face Parma FC in the last 32 of the UEFA Cup in February.
