Marseille, Sept 25, 2020 (AFP) - Marseille announced the signing of 18-year-old Brazilian attacker Luis Henrique from Botafogo on Friday in a deal reportedly worth up to €12 million ($14 million).

Coach Andre Villas-Boas called the teenager a "pure talent" he intends to refine while sporting director Pablo Longoria said Henrique was a "player of great talent and of the future".

He is believed to have penned a five-year contract and becomes Marseille's fourth recruit of the transfer window after Pape Gueye, Leonardi Balerdi and Yuto Nagatomo.
