Cartagena sign Brazilian Neves and Albanian Lleshi

Cartagena, from the Second Football Division after being promoted from Second B, announced this Monday its first two signings: Albanian midfielder Kleandro Lleschi and Brazilian forward Pedro Neves.

Lleshi, 20, comes from Leganes, club with which the contract has been terminated, signs for one season with an option for another. He came to the Madrid team two years ago from the Portuguese Os Belenenses and during the past year he was on loan during the first stage of competition in the Fuenlabrada Madrid, Second. Halfway through the league he signed for him Recreativo de Huelva, from Second B. It is a midfielder who has already been an under-21 international with his country and his physique -around 1.90 meters tall- and his versatility allow him to also perform central defense tasks.

Neves, whose birthday is September 5 19 years, was last season in the British Reading youth team and signing until 2023. This young footballer who has Portuguese nationality is expected to contribute speed and impudence to attack by both bands, although his best leg is his right. Until now, his still short career has been developed in the United Kingdom, since at the age of 12 he joined Charlton Athletic and at 17 he joined Everton and then went to Reading. Even if both will have a filial fileThey will work daily with the first team under Borja Jiménez.
