Cape Verde World Cup hero Vozinha agrees move to Chile's Colo Colo

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, who emerged as one of the World Cup's biggest surprise packages, has ​reached an agreement to join Chilean side ‌Colo Colo, club president Anibal Mosa said on Friday.

The 40-year-old free agent will travel to Chile to undergo ​a medical before being officially unveiled at ​the Estadio Monumental, Mosa told reporters ahead ⁠of Colo Colo's league match against Deportes Limache.

"Vozinha ​will be a Colo Colo player. In the ​coming days he will travel to Chile, undergo the usual medical examinations and then be presented here at the ​Estadio Monumental," Mosa said.

Mosa added Vozinha's World Cup ​performances showed he deserved the move, while acknowledging the signing ‌also ⁠carried marketing appeal for the Chilean side.

Although the deal has yet to be finalised, Colo Colo teased the signing on social media with an ​image appearing ​to show ⁠the veteran goalkeeper's trademark curly hair.

Vozinha, who left Portuguese second-tier side Chaves before ​the World Cup, was voted into ​FIFA's ⁠fan-selected World Cup dream team after helping tournament debutants Cape Verde hold eventual champions Spain to a ⁠goalless ​draw and pushing eventual runners-up ​Argentina into extra time in the last 32.
