The 24-year-old joins on a 4 1/2 year contract from Portuguese Primeira Liga outfit Vitoria de Setubal, and has a minimum fee release clause of €30 million.

Suk is a product of the famed Ajax youth academy and had stints with the club's first team and FC Groningen before his first spell in Portugal with Maritimo. The following spell at Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli preceded stints with Nacional and Vitoria.

With nine goals in 16 appearances this term, it's hoped Suk can add to Vincent Aboubakar's considerable firepower in caretaker coach Rui Barros' attack.

Suk could be drafted straight into the matchday squad Sunday for Porto's trip to Vitoria Guimaraes.
