“This is a player we have been following for more than a year”, the club said in a statement. “Xande has great qualities in terms of percussion, speed and power. He can play in both lanes or as a second striker. He is a solar player who will bring his enthusiasm and his joie de vivre to the locker room. “
For his part, the young Portuguese international is delighted to land in Dijon. “DFCO is a good French club which recently played in Ligue 1. The facilities are new and of high quality. When the leaders offered me a contract, I was excited because the club’s objective is to return to Ligue 1 soon. I liked the challenge offered and I am happy to be here. We want to give happiness to the supporters. »
