Brazil striker Souza joins Sao Paulo
Rio de Janeiro, Jan 8 (IANS) Brazil striker Diego Souza has joined Sao Paulo from their Brazilian top-flight football rivals Sport Recife.
The 32-year-old on Sunday signed a two-year contract with an option of a third year after Sao Paulo agreed to a three million-euro (about $3.6 million) transfer fee, the six-time Serie A champions said.
“He will arrive in Sao Paulo in the coming days to undergo a medical before being integrated into the squad,” Sao Paulo said in a statement on their official website.
Souza scored 57 goals in 173 matches for Sport, whom he joined from Fluminense in 2016.
The former Benfica player has been capped seven times for Brazil’s national team and holds the record for the fastest goal ever scored by a Brazilian player in an international match.
He achieved the feat against Australia last June, finding the net just 11 seconds after the opening whistle in Brazil’s 4-0 victory in Melbourne.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
