After many months of speculation over whether Vitor Roque would join Barcelona in January, the young Brazilian has finally landed in the Catalan city to reinforce the attacking line for Xavi Hernandez's side.
The rising star, known as 'Tigrinho', has chosen the No. 19, which has previously been worn by club legends such as Kluivert and Messi. However, it is unlikely that he will be able to wear it on his back against Las Palmas as the player has not yet been registered in La Liga so his debut with the 'Cules' will have to wait.
The former Athletico Paranaense player, aged just 18, made 81 official appearances for the Brazilian club before trying his luck in Europe, 54 of them as a starter, scoring 28 goals and providing 10 assists.
