Villas-Boas promises “move” in the market after Samu injury | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas has assured that FC Porto will go into the market in search of a striker.

The Dragons’ president commented on the injury to Samu and explained that the recovery time of the Spanish forward, together with Moffi’s already confirmed departure, is decisive for this decision. At the same time, he had very strong praise for João Afonso, the 19-year-old goalkeeper recently signed from Santa Clara.

“We are going into the market for a striker, because we have to create some room. Our forecast for Samu’s return is in October, then there is the readjustment to top-level competition and the team’s pace in October, so we would say that at least in November Samu will be at 100%, and until then FC Porto has to strengthen itself,” he admitted.

“He is, without a doubt, a prospect and a goalkeeper in whom we place great hopes of earning his place one day. From what we analyzed from a technical point of view, we believe he has every condition to become a great goalkeeper for FC Porto’s future and an important player for the national team,” he added.
