Feyenoord sign Brazilian talent (18)
Thursday 17 July 2008
Feyenoord Rotterdam announced
tonight that the club have signed Brazilian talent David
Henrique dos Santos Manteiga.
Feyenoord and Manteiga - who played
five games for Vasco da Gama at the end of last season
- have agreed a three year contract with an option to
another two years.
The 18-year-old midfielder has
received a working permit and will be boarding a plane
to Rotterdam on Thursday to be presented next Saturday
at Feyenoord's century celebrations.
All new players are traditionally
flown into the stadium by helicopter.
Together with Manteiga and others
Feyenoord will present prodigal son Jon-Dahl Tomasson,
who has returned to De Kuip after more or less successful
spells with AC Milan, Stuttgart and Villareal.

practice match against an amateur side.
