Dutch club PSV Eindhoven have signed Brazilian goalkeeper Heurelho Silva Gomes.
'Eager to sign'
The 23-year-old has left Cruzeiro EC and signed a four-year contract with last season's Eredivisie runners-up. A former member of Brazil's Olympic football team who has won five senior caps, Gomes said: "I think PSV is the best club with which to start a European adventure. They are a big name in Brazil and although other clubs were also interested in me, I was eager to sign for Eindhoven."
Qualifying round
Gomes had spent four years with Cruzeiro, whom he joined from Democrata SL. Earlier this summer, PSV also signed 20-year-old Australian goalkeeper Nathaniel Coe as well as Edwin Zoetebier from Feyenoord. The experienced Zoetebier, 35, is expected to start the season as first-choice keeper. PSV enter this season's UEFA Champions League in the third qualifying round.
