AC Milan sign FC Porto defender Ricardo Ferreira, Everton land Eric Dier on loan from Sporting
Rossoneri acquire Ricardo Ferreira from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186
According to reports, Italian Serie A champions, AC Milan, have signed defender Ricardo Ferreira from FC Porto after his contract with the Dragons expired.
The youngster was an integral piece in the jigsaw of the Portista youth ranks and was being tracked by some of the top clubs in the continent. Many clubs were rumoured to be interested in signing the starlet, but the 18-year-old chose not to extend his contract
at Estadio do Dragao, targeting the Red and Black half of San Siro as his destination.
However, the Selecao U-19 International will have to prove his abilities against the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robinho-c31382 and Zlatan Ibrahimović in order to be in contention for a place at the seven-time European Cup winners. Milan coach, Massimiliano Allegri, will now be looking
to test the player’s mettle in preseason and only then will he decide if he wants to retain the talented youngster.
Ferreira’s move is just one of the stories emanating from the Portuguese Primeira Liga winners. According to reports, Porto are facing a mass exodus from the club following Andre Villas-Boas’s exit. This has affected the players as well. Not only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-c16384 Sousa
decided to leave, but first team stars such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rolando-c31583 are also contemplating their respective futures away from the club.
Everton sign Eric Dier on loan from Sporting Lisbon
The Toffees have secured the services of Eric Dier from Portuguese giants, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Lisbon, on a season-long loan.
The Portuguese defender was on the books of the U-18 side at Goodison Park and became a regular feature for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787 after joining from the youth ranks of the Lions in January.
The 17-year-old was born in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.
Although he did not play for the first team at Estadio Jose Alvalade, he was loaned to English Premier League club, Everton, in 2011.
While he is eligible to feature for both the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 and England national teams, it looks like he has decided to don the Three Lions jersey as he appeared in a commercial for the kit manufacturers, Umbro, wearing the famous England colours.
His height and playing style are conducive to centre-back position in England and given his tender age, Dier is a definite star of the future for either England or Portugal. His current club, Everton, have decided to enrol him in their preseason plans after
he joins the squad by formally penning a deal with the club.
