João Afonso unflustered at Dragão as Porto move nears | OneFootball

João Afonso, 19, will join Porto next season after costing 1.5 million plus 500,000 in add-ons. The Portugal under-21 goalkeeper impressed at the end of the league campaign.

"It was on Monday, the 4th. The gaffer asked if I was shitting myself. No, I am not, boss. You can put me in, I will deliver," he told Sport TV.

With two rounds left, coach Petit rested Gabriel Batista and handed Afonso his first start. He followed up with strong displays against Nacional and at the Dragão on the final matchday.

"It is a source of great pride. I have been working with the team for four years and this moment is special. I cannot fail to thank all the coaches and team-mates I had at Santa Clara."

"In my short career, I have been privileged to work with the right people." He is expected to sign a five-year contract.
