Seedorf clinches Botafogo move

AC Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf has left the club to join Brazilian side Botafogo on a two-year deal.

The Suriname-born 36-year-old, who ended a 10-year stint at AC Milan after he announced he would be leaving the San Siro this summer, had reportedly been interesting Premier League side West Ham. However, he has now decided to ply his trade in Brazil, in a move that Botafogo claim is the most lucrative deal ever handed out to a foreign player in the country. The club announced the deal in a statement which read: "Botafogo have formalised a contract with the Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf, who is 36. Seedorf has signed a deal for two years with Botafogo, it is the biggest contract for a foreigner made by a Brazilian football club." Rio de Janeiro-based Botafogo sit eighth in the Campeonato Brasileiro with three wins from six matches.
