But I've always wanted to be a global player. I want to challenge myself with new opportunities in new places.

I want to write new history in sports . The Saudi Arabian league has many quality players with tremendous energy.

I've heard a lot and followed a long list of Brazilian players who have played here over the years. I believe I want to play here.

Al Hilal is a huge club with amazing fans. It's the best club in Asia. This gives me the feeling that I made the right decision. I love winning and scoring goals. I will continue to do that in Saudi Arabia and with Al Hilal."
