The Chinese Super League's winter transfer window is about to open, and teams are actively looking for suitable foreign reinforcements. Among them, the Shandong Taishan team has identified a new foreign striker, he is Zeka from Brazil, the 26-year-old high school striker has agreed to the Taishan team's **, will join the Chinese Super League next season. Zeka is not only a strong goalscorer, but also has the potential to become a naturalized player of the Chinese national team in the future, bringing new hope to Chinese football.
According to South Korea's ** SportsChosun", Brazilian striker Zeka, who plays for South Korea's K-League powerhouse Pohang Irons, has agreed to the conditions offered by Shandong Taishan Club, and news will be released soon. Zeka himself also posted a message thanking the Pohang Ironmen and fans on social **, saying that he was about to leave South Korea and go to China.
Zeka's full name is Zecarias Ferreira da Silva, born in Brazil in 1997, with a height of 192 meters, playing as a center forward. He has played for a number of teams in Brazil, joining South Korean side Daegu in 2019 before moving to Pohang Iron Man in January 2020. In two seasons in South Korea, Zeka made 69 appearances, scoring 28 goals and providing 13 assists, making him a very good attacking player.
The addition of Zeka will, to a certain extent, make up for the vacancy caused by Fellaini's departure and become Cressan's good partner in the Tarzan team's forward line. Like Cressan, Zeka is a tall striker with good technique at his feet and a header, and their combination will pose a huge threat to the opposition defence. Another advantage of Zeka is his age, he is only 26 years old, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and he may also become a naturalized player of the Chinese national team in the future.
The addition of Zeka is a blockbuster reinforcement for Shandong Taishan team in the winter transfer window, and it is also a support for Cui Kangxi's tactical thinking. Choi Kang-hee likes to play high and high, and needs a high striker to create chances and complete shots. The arrival of Zeka will make the Taishan team's forward line stronger and will also improve the competitiveness of the team. Another potential value of Zeka is that he may become a naturalized player of the Chinese national team in the future, bringing new hope to Chinese football.
Zeka's age meets the naturalization requirements, he has not played for the Brazilian national team, and if he can perform well in the Chinese Super League and obtain Chinese nationality, then he will be a big addition to the Chinese national team. Of course, this also requires his own will and the support of the Chinese Football Association, and there is no official news yet. However, the addition of Zeka is undoubtedly a highlight of the Chinese Super League, and it is also a big benefit for the Shandong Taishan team, looking forward to his performance in the Chinese Super League.
