The 21 - year - old attacker, who last played for Portimonense S.C in the Segunda Liga, was one of the highly sought - after Nigerian players in the ongoing summer transfer market.
And he needed time to decide his next destination as offers were flowing from clubs in Portugal and overseas , but he ended speculation regarding his future on Saturday by putting pen to paper on a contract with the Roosters.
'' I signed a three - year deal with Gil Vicente yesterday. I joined this club because it's organized and I believe this will give me the opportunity to keep developing as a player.
'' I will meet my new teammates on Monday when I start training,'' says Simoen Nwankwo to allnigeriasoccer.com.
This portal understands that Gil Vicente saw off competition from Sporting Braga, Belenenses, Vitória de Guimarães, Servette and Jagiellonia Bialystok to land the signature of Simeon Nwankwo.
He will play with the number nine jersey in the 2013 - 2014 Primeira Liga season.
