He has also been capped 3 times at full international level for Portugal and was in the 23 man squad for the World Cup.

He has played the majority of games so far for Braga and his good form has brought him to the attention of some of the big clubs in Europe.

However whether he is one of the players Saints famed scouting system has been watching and there is genuine interest or if it just his agent trying to stir up interest for a move is yet to be discovered.
