Luis Lopes Agrees Three Year Deal

Aberdeen FC today confirms it has completed the signing of forward Luis Lopes having agreed terms on a three-year deal with the Dons.

The 22-year-old will join the Club from Benfica for an undisclosed fee, subject to successful completion of the UK immigration process.

Luis, also known as ‘Duk’, scored 8 goals in 20 outings for the Portuguese giant’s B side last season, and has represented Portugal at Under-18 and U19 level, but made his international debut for Cape Verde last month.

Manager Jim Goodwin is pleased to further bolster his attacking options with the arrival of the international striker, his seventh summer signing.

He said: “Luis is another good addition for us at the top end of the pitch and it creates more competition for places, which is something I was keen to build within the squad this year.

“He is quick, strong, and powerful and he fits our recruitment strategy perfectly. He is a young player who still has a lot to learn, and he is not quite the finished article yet, but we firmly believe we will give him the platform to perform and continue his development.

“He’s had a really good football education at Benfica, and I am sure he will come to Aberdeen, score goals, and make a positive impact.”

RedTV will bring you exclusive access to Duk’s first days as a Don once the immigration process is complete.
