Portuguese champions FC Porto have confirmed the signing of Nigerian left-back Zaidu Sanusi from Santa Clara.
The 23-year-old is tied to Porto until the end of the 2024-2025 season having put pen to paper on a five-year contract.
Porto are his fourth club since his arrival in Portugal in 2016 as he previously wore the colours of Gil Vicente, Mirandela and Santa Clara.
A powerful defender, Sanusi made 27 appearances in all competitions for Santa Clara over the course of the 2019-2020 campaign, scoring one goal and assisting three others.
"I'm really happy to be a FC Porto player. I don't even know how to explain it, but I'm very, very happy to be wearing this shirt," said Sanusi to Porto's official website.
"I hope to do a good job and help the team. This season we will win everything.
"The club and the fans can expect everything from me. I received many messages from FC Porto fans and that made me very happy."
Sanusi is Porto's third acquisition in the summer transfer window after Cláudio Ramos and Carraça.
