The signing of this young player without reference is a bet.

“It's a pure talent, assured André Villas-Boas Thursday.

We will make him work for the next few weeks in different positions.

He was trained to play on the sides, but I think he has the characteristics to play number 9. ”

The Brazilian, who will attend OM-Metz on Saturday, is expected to start training with the squad on Monday.

Luis Henrique "needs to learn more".

“On talent, we have no doubts.

We need a little time to see where he will perform best, ”added the Portuguese coach.
