Monaco - Brazilian striker Vagner Love has joined Monaco from Corinthians in his homeland, the French Ligue 1 club said on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old Brazil international, known for his colourful braids, has signed a contract until June 2017.
Love made his name in Europe during an eight-year spell with CSKA Moscow in Russia, during which time he helped the club win the 2005 UEFA Cup and three domestic titles.
Capped 20 times by the Selecao, Love helped Corinthians to the Brazilian title in 2015, scoring 14 times along the way.
"I hope to bring all my experience to the Monaco team to help us achieve the aims set by the management," said Love in an official club statement.
He will wear the No.9 jersey in the Principality.
