Former Arsenal and Fenerbahçe full-back André Santos has agreed to join Indian Super League franchise FC Goa.

The 31 year-old, who was released by Flamengo in August, will be coached by Zico during the inaugural ISL season, which starts in October.

FC Goa owners had reportedly been trying to persuade Manchester United midfielder Anderson to join, but after the 26 year-old turned down the opportunity to move, they instead switched their attention to Santos.

The former Brazil international will hope to use his time in India to rebuild his reputation following a tough end to his time at Flamengo, which saw him attacked by his own fans.
