The versatile attacker who can play on either wing or through the middle, represented Brazil U20s, has experience of the AFC Champions League, and has finished atop of his league seven different times, in five different leagues till date.

Hyderabad FC are now free to register new players as the transfer bans by FIFA and AIFF have been lifted. The bans were imposed upon the club owing to their inability to clear the dues they owed to two former players Nestor Gordillo and Adil Khan.

New signings Jonathan Moya, Joe Knowles, Petteri Pennanen, Vignesh Dakshinamurthy and Makan Chothe, who could not be registered for the Durand Cup, will be included in the ISL season's squad before the transfer window closes on 31 August.
