In the dying seconds of a truly gonzo last day of transfer window dealings, the Premier League might just have got more than it bargained for (even at a record-breaking transfer fee.) Welcome Mr Robson de Souza, better known – in the tradition of Brazilian greatness – as Robinho. He’s got more than the name, he’s got the game too, so look out Prem defences.
This showstopping 24-year old grew up as a futsal prodigy and graduated from a youth programme to take a coveted place in the Brazilian international squad. With an armory of jaw-dropping creative tricks that might remind you of another one-name midfield genius currently walking tall in the North, football lovers nationwide had better just sit back and watch the fireworks.
