Emirates sign Jair Eduardo da Silva

Emirates have completed the signing of Brazilian striker Jair Eduardo Britto da Silva from Japanese side JEF United Chiba on a one-year loan deal. The 25-year-old – known simply as Jair -  rejected several offers from other clubs, instead preferring to sign for Emirates having consulted with fellow countrymen Luiz Henrique and Careca, who encouraged him to make the move to the UAE. “They assured me that I will find great potential and all the support I need to succeed here. I know that the level of football in the UAE has evolved rapidly and I hope to show my own playing style here and perform well in the League,” Jair said.
