FC Porto have signed midfielder Tiago Rodrigues and winger Ricardo Pereira from Portuguese Cup holders Vitória SC.

The players, both Dragons fans, have each penned a five-year contract with the Liga champions, who on Monday announced ex-FC Paços de Ferreira boss Paulo Fonseca as the successor to coach Vítor Pereira.

"I had a dream to play for this club and I will always help the team," said Portuguese Under-21 international Tiago Rodrigues. Ricardo, 19, added: "Playing for Porto you can grow more than at any other club. I want to grab my chances and push on."
