Braga Sign Kiril Nikolov
Portuguese Superliga outfit Sporting Braga has signed Bulgarian international midfielder Kiril Nikolov from Litex Lovech on loan for the remainder of the season.
The 26 year-old has represented his country at every level and scored in his only appearance for the national team.
Braga also holds the option of purchasing the player from the Bulgarian club.
Braga's manager Jesualdo Ferreira describes Nikolov as a very "talented and creative player."
Ferreira wanted to bring Nikolov to Benfica during his time as manager of the Lisbon club 2002/2003 but was told by the board of directors not to purchase any more players.
Nikolov admits that he doesn't know much about Braga's football team but says that he wants to help them reach a major European competition.
"I'm happy to be playing in Portugal and I want to help my club maintain their good standing," he said.
Braga currently sits in 4th place in the Superliga, a position that would grant them a birth in next season's UEFA Cup.
