Belfast City manager Artemis Beartrappe has just completed the signing of seventeen year old Portuguese attacking midfielder Leonardo Da Silva Lopes in a one million pound deal from Peterborough United…
 |
| Leonardo Da Silva Lopes Lopes joined the Peterborough United academy in 2013 when he was 14 years old... He previously played at youth level for the Powerleague Colts... when he was 13 in 2012... Lopes signed a senior contact on 10 March 2015 along with four other graduates (Harry Anderson, Jack Friend, Jonny Edwards and Tobi Adebayo-Rowling)... He made his senior debut in a 4–3 victory against Crawley Town on 25 April 2015... |
This transfer is seen as a major risk taken by Belfast City Manager Artemis Beartrappe… but he had the following to say about the deal… "Leonardo is a fanatic young raw talent… I've seen him play for the Peterborough youth set up and in the two games he played for the senior team last year i knew if i got my chance of becoming a manager he would be high up on my wanted list!!!"
