As extensively reported here on GGOA, in the Japanese press and elsewhere, Pedro Junior has now signed for Omiya Ardija. The 20-year-old Brazilian forward joins from San Caetano until the end of June 2008, having previously turned out for Gremio and Cruzeiro. He participated in his first Squirrels training session on Tuesday at Akiba Forest ahead of the midweek clash with Vissel Kobe and is believed to be in contention for a first team spot in Sunday's game against high-flying Kashima Antlers.
