Ilsinho joins Shakhtar

Ilsinho has signed for ambitious Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk. The talented 21-year old right back has signed for an estimated 12m EUR from Sao Paulo.

Ilsinho has been linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona, but it looks as if the lure of first team football in Ukraine has helped sway his decision.

The player already has one cap for Brazil and scored 2 goals for his club last season.
