FC Porto are set to complete the signing of Brazilian midfielder Otavio Edmilson da Silva Monteiro from Internacional, reports O Globo.

The Dragons have already recruited a host of quality footballers this summer and they are likely to make the 19-year-old their final signing of the summer transfer window.

O Globo understands that the two clubs have agreed on a €7 million transfer fee, with the youngster expected to sign a five-year deal at Estadio do Dragao later today.

Otavio is the product of Internacional youth school and he was handed his first team debut in July 2012.

The highly rated midfielder has so far made 55 appearances for the club and scored 6 goals in the process, while featuring in another 7 Copa do Brasil matches.

Otavio hasn’t been capped by Brazil at any level, but that could soon change as a move to Porto should help him catch the eye of the Seleccao coaches.
