FC Barcelona’s new signing, Brazilian striker Keirrison de Souza, arrived in Barcelona on Thursday evening and immediately spoke about his love for the Club: “Since I was a boy I’ve carried Barça in my heart”.

Despite being born thousands of kilometres away from Barcelona, Keirrison assured Barça TV and www.fcbarcelona.cat that he has always felt a special affection for FC Barcelona: “I’ve always followed Barça and the great Brazilian footballers who have played here. Since I was a boy I’ve carried Barça in my heart and at the age of 20 I have the pleasure of playing at this great club”.

A dream come true

Though it may sound like a cliché, the Brazilian striker sees his move to Barça as a dream come true as he has been following events at the Club since he was a boy: “I’m very happy to be here and fulfil my dream of signing for the best club in the world. Over the next five years I hope to play some great football and give my all for Barça”.

Plenty of time ahead

Keirrison joins Barça at just 20 years old and is eager to win a place in Guardiola’s team despite his youth: “I’m lucky enough to join Barça at a very young age. I have time to show what I can do and help Barça win titles. I hope to earn a place in the team just like the other Brazilian forwards that played for Barça”.
