Gremio have finalised their 30-man squad for this year’s Copa Libertadores as Dinamo Kiev forward Dudu arrived at the Porto Alegre club on loan for the season.
The Campeonato Brasileiro runners-up, who play their opening continental fixture on Friday away against Uruguay’s Nacional, will be delighted to recruit former Cruzeiro man Dudu, who won the under-20 World Cup alongside Neymar and Lucas in impressive fashion in 2011.
The 22 year-old then went on to gain two caps for Brazil but, like many that leave their homeland at such an early age, has struggled to settle in the Ukraine since a €5million switch in 2011.
Dudu will add to an already stellar Gremio attacking line up that includes Uruguayan Maxi Rodriguez and Brazilian 39 year-old veteran Ze Roberto.
