Ex-Arsenal fullback Andre Santos joins FC Goa

Former Arsenal left-back Andre Santos has followed Robert Pires to Indian Super League outfit FC Goa.

The 31-year-old becomes the latest in a string of former European heavyweights to flock to India ahead of the inaugural Super League season, which begins on October 12 and runs until December.

Pires, 40, came out of retirement to seal his move to the ISL earlier this month and the pair will face other high-profile names Freddie Ljungberg, Nicolas Anelka and David Trezeguet.

Santos moved to Emirates Stadium in a £6million move from Fenerbahce, but struggled to justify his price tag, making just 13 Premier League starts across two seasons.
