West Ham United have confirmed the signing of Brazilian centreback Luizao on a free transfer, with the 20-year-old set to join Mark Robson's Under-21 side.
With an eye on the future, David Moyes' side have snapped up Luizao ahead of the opening of the January transfer window, with the defender joining immediately at the start of the new year.
Speculation increased earlier this week after Luizao took to Instagram to say goodbye to Brazilian side Sao Paulo after, as a move to the London Stadium edged closer.
