Trabzonspor take on Fabiano
Tuesday, 19 July 2005
Turkish UEFA Champions League contenders Trabzonspor have signed Brazilian international defender Fabiano Eller from Fluminense FC on a three-year contract.
Tolga replacement
The 27-year-old player will join his compatriot goalkeeper Jefferson, who moved to Trabzonspor earlier this month, and a Brazilian striker could also be signed in due course. Board member Murat Bozoglu said: "We have been tracking him for nearly six months. Following the departure of Turkish international defender Tolga Seyhan our club were in search for an experienced defender with leadership capabilities. Fabiano is a player who possesses those qualities and I can assure you it was not easy to bring him over here."
Confident words
Fabiano, who began his career at Linhares Sport in 1994/95 and played for CR Vasco da Gama and Al-Wakrah of Qatar before joining Fluminense in January, made his debut for Brazil in a friendly against Guatemala in April. He said: "I believe we will win every competition we enter this year. I have joined Trabzonspor because I have a dream of playing for a European side and now it have come true."
Duo depart
Meanwhile, Trabzonspor have cancelled the contract of Belgian defender Karel D'Haene while Australian goalkeper Michael Petkovic has signed a two-year contract with Turkish Superleague newcomers Sivasspor. Second in 2004/05, Trabzonspor will tomorrow find out if they are to meet Anorthosis Famagusta FC or FC Dinamo Minsk in next week's second qualifying round first leg trip.
