The Portuguese midfielder Rúben Amorim arrived on Sunday in Doha and will look to finalise a deal with Al Wakrah ahead of the new Qatar Stars League season.

The Portuguese will have a medical at Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital on Monday, and if all goes well, the player will then be introduced to the local media a few days later according to the club’s official website.

The Waves have been after the Benfica man for some time, and will hope he can solidify a sometimes porous midfield.

Last season Benfica won the domestic Portuguese title and Amorim is known as a box-to-box midfielder who can also play as a right back.

Amorim spent most of his professional career with Belenenses and Benfica, signing with the latter in 2008 and going on to win ten major titles, including three national championships. Amorim also represented Portugal in two World Cups.
