Orlando Pirates have been boosted in their preparations for the upcoming season with the arrival of a new signing in camp in Spain.
Having completed the signing of Angolan attacker Delvi Miguel Vieira in Johannesburg last week, the talented player who is known as Gilberto in football circles, had to fly back to Angola to finalise all the necessary paperwork before joining the rest of his new teammates in training.

With that process now concluded, the 23-year-old has finally managed to join the squad in Spain where they have been taken through their paces by head coach Jose Riveiro and the technical team.
Gilberto has been described by insiders as a good signing for the Buccaneers and is expected to contribute positively to the success of the club during his three-year spell.

"Pirates have signed a very good player in Gilberto, and I have no doubt that he will do well. I know that for the supporters the focus was on (Stephane) Aziz Ki, who was initially linked with the club, but this one is good too and is capable of scoring goals. He just needs to get used to his surroundings as soon as possible and remain focused and he will do well," said the Siya source.
Pirates have since posted a video on the club's official social media channels welcoming the highly-rated player where he also shows his charismatic personality with some dance moves to the delight of his teammates.
