Santiago Gimenez, the Mexican striker who finished the season as the top scorer in the Portuguese League with 22 goals, is very close to transferring to FC Porto. The Feyenoord player will cost the dragons a figure close to 18 million euros, according to Dutch media reports.
The player's father, Santiago Gimenez senior, explained his son's enthusiasm for the Porto club, stating that FC Porto is "a team offensively aggressive and with restless wingers", characteristics that suit the Mexican striker's playing style.
Santiago Gimenez senior is a former midfielder who played for Cruz Azul and Club América, among other Mexican clubs. Curiously, the former player faced FC Porto just nine years ago, when he represented Club América in pre-season games.
Santiago Gimenez, 23 years old, is a Mexico international and finished the last season as the top scorer of the Portuguese League while playing for Feyenoord, a team with which he won the Eredivisie.
