Juan Valencia is officially a new signing for FC Porto. The 18-year-old Colombian midfielder arrives from Itaguí Leones and has signed his first professional deal with the Dragons, joining the club’s Under-19 squad.

Speaking to the club’s official channels, the young player discussed the differences between South American and European football. Juan Valencia expressed confidence in the progress he can make at FC Porto and also described his main characteristics:

“I’ve just arrived, but I already know that in Europe football is faster, more technical and players think more. This club will help me make better decisions, become a more competitive and more effective player, and I will always give my best. I can make the difference with my physical ability because I’m an aggressive player, a box-to-box midfielder. I will always give my all; I step onto the pitch to give everything for this great club.”

Heading into the next Primeira Liga matchday, FC Porto lead the league with 18 points from six matches. Their opponent will be Benfica.
