West Ham United sign Portuguese defender Gonçalo Cardoso



West Ham United are delighted to announce the signing of highly-rated Portuguese defender Gonçalo Cardoso for an undisclosed fee.

The Hammers beat off competition from a number of top European clubs to complete the transfer of the 18-year-old centre-back from Primeira Liga club Boavista on a five-year contract with an option to extend for a further year.

Cardoso, who started 15 league games last season and was part of the Portugal side which finished runners-up at the 2019 UEFA European U19 Championship finals in July, is looking to take his game to the next level at London Stadium.

"I am very excited and it’s a dream come true," said the teenager, who will wear the No20 shirt.

"I always dreamt of coming to England and now I’m here at this big, historic club, so I’m very happy.

"I’m an aggressive player, a little bit different on the pitch than off it. I’m calm, and I like to have the ball and build the game from the back.

"I’m here to work and to help the team reach their goals."

You can watch games at that tournament if you wish and have time and bandwidth to burn.

Apparently he will be the 4th choice...Manny and team think he is good enough to step up to the first team squad without development squad

I think Reid may well be finished...after that long out injured it has crossed my mind on more than one occasion.

He may get himself match fit but is it enough after such a long absence?

Hate to be negative. But his omission when they talk about players coming back from injuries would push me that way.

Hope to be wrong.

How long does Reid have left on his contract?

Can't we get Reid medically discharged?
Seriously.

If a normal work employee is off sick for over a year,an employer would look for ways to get rid.

Even if injured on the job?

The pre op on Claret and Hugh seems to rate him after seeing the lad play a couple of games

Not sure on its opinion as it seems to have a short bowl hair cut and dark eye liner. So it's judgement can't be that great

I'd prefer us to flog Dogbonna and give Reid and this bloke a crack at fighting it out for 3rd/4th CB.

Re: Goncalo Cardoso - 18 year old Portuguese CB

Flog Ogbonna and put the money towards cover upfront or centre mid.

What a shitty state of affairs.

According to C&H's new intellectual powerhouse, guest blogger Richard, he will be a shrewd bit of business.

I reckon it's been 25 years since I've seen a BOWL CUT as good as that.

I see his Wikipedia page was created today. Suddenly he is sooo important!

Work of art that.
