Rangers sign Fabio Cardoso

The 23-year-old centre-back has signed from Vitoria Setubal to become the third Portuguese player to join Rangers this summer following Bruno Alves and Dalcio.

The former Portugal Under-20 and Benfica B player joined Setubal last summer and made 23 appearances.

Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha told the club's official website: "He is a player who everyone describes as having big potential to be one of the centre-halves of the future with the Portuguese national team.

"We believe in him and he can perform on the right or on the left which is good in a centre-half.

"Fabio is 23 so having an experienced player around like Bruno Alves is good, he is a player whose one main characteristic is leadership so Fabio will feel comfortable and grow and learn from him."

Cardoso has set his sights high after becoming Caixinha's fourth summer signing.

"For me, this is the best club in Scotland and I will do my best to help us make history together," he told the Rangers website.

"This is a big step in my career and it has always been a dream for me to play here in the UK. The people are very passionate about their football and it is the best atmosphere to play football in and I will do my best.

"Of course, I have to adapt myself to the new country and to the new way of living. I think I am going to be successful though.

"I will do my best to help me and my team-mates win. A club as big as Rangers has to win."
