This charismatic Cabo Verdean predator combines blistering pace with a predatory instinct for long-range screamers that frequently leave goalkeepers stranded. His clinical finishing is matched only by his swagger, though he often finds himself tumbling like a ragdoll whenever he pushes his high-speed dribbling a step too far. Legend has it he once skipped a pre-match team meeting to practice hitting top-corner absolute missiles while barefoot on a windy beach, claiming he could 'hear the goal netting whistling'.
