Besiktas' all-time record goalscorer Bobo joins Sydney FC

Sydney FC have confirmed Brazilian striker Deyvison Rogerio "Bobo" da Silva as their major overseas recruit for the coming A-League season.

The 31-year-old, who's set to make his debut for the club in an FFA Cup clash with Perth Glory next week, has joined from Brazilian club Gremio, and has previously starred for Turkish team Besiktas, where he played alongside Sydney's Filip Holosko.

"I'm very happy to be joining to Sydney FC, it is a massive club with a big chance of winning silverware this season," Bobo said on Monday.

"I am aware of the excellent signings head coach Graham Arnold has made in the last couple of months and I'm very impressed by the pedigree in his squad.

"I believe I am coming to Sydney FC to win trophies and I will not be satisfied until we have achieved that."

Sydney FC will open their A-League season with a blockbuster clash against the Western Sydney Wanderers on Oct 8.
