Wolfsburg sign Brazilian forward Bruno Henrique from Goias

Wolfsburg has signed Brazilian forward Bruno Henrique from Brazilian side Goias.

The Bundesliga side says the 25-year-old Henrique signed a contract on Friday through June 2019, and will wear No. 16.

Henrique scored seven goals and set up 10 more in the Brazilian league last season, though his club were relegated.

Wolfsburg managing director Klaus Allofs said the addition of Henrique will help the club replace Dutch striker Bas Dost, who broke his foot earlier this month.

"We're happy we could reach agreement over a transfer," Wolfsburg managing director Klaus Allofs said. "Following the loss of Bas Dost through injury we felt that we wanted to bolster the attack if a new signing made sense from a sporting and financial point of view. Bruno Henrique provided this opportunity."
