Iago will begin his stay in the Portuguese club's reserve team in the third division.

"I am very happy to sign for Sporting CP because it is a club that has already done great things and trained great players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Luís Figo," he told Sporting's website.

"I am very excited because it is a club that invests a lot in training and young people, which motivates me."

Iago has an eye on two compatriots who have a past in Sporting.

"I know that some of my compatriots have passed through here like Pedro Porro and Antonio Adán, who won many titles with Sporting CP," he added.

- I hope I can also win many trophies like them. I am a skilled player, with a good passing game and a good shot.
