Josué joy at Wolfsburg move

Copa América winner Josué has earned a move to European football after VfL Wolfsburg agreed an undisclosed fee with his Brazilian club São Paulo FC.

'Grateful'
Felix Magath was able to acquire the midfielder's services on a four-year deal despite Josué still having a year to run on his contract. "I am grateful that my club respected my wish to play in Europe," said Josué, who has spent his entire career in his homeland. The 28-year-old has seven international appearances including five at the summer tournament in Venezuela, when he also scored his first goal for Brazil. The move comes after Wolfsburg acquired AC Sparta Praha central defender Jan Šimůnek, in a deal reportedly worth €5m, yesterday.
