Carlos Zeca joins FCK
F.C. Copenhagen have signed Greece international Carlos Zeca from Panathinaikos FC on a four-year deal. The midfielder, who also holds Portuguese citizenship, will join his new teammates on Thursday next week after international duties with Greece.
”Zeca is a true leader on and off the pitch. He comes with international experience from a big club, where he has been captain. He is a player with the ability to pass and keep a high tempo, and he is very comfortable with the ball. He has a great tactical understanding and is physically tough. We have been looking for a player who can increase the competition in that position and look forward to seeing Zeca in Copenhagen, where he will be an important player from day one,” says manager Ståle Solbakken.
Zeca, 28, now looks forward to joining the reigning Danish champions and cup winners,
"I am looking forward to joining a leading club in Europe," he said. "I hope I can contribute to the club's legacy and help FCK to more titles. It is a new and exciting challenge for me and for my career."
