Intertoto Cup: Viana landed by Valencia
/noticias.info/ Valencia CF have signed Newcastle United FC's Portuguese international Hugo Viana on loan for the forthcoming Primera División season.
Edu replacement
The 22-year-old has been recruited as cover for Brazil midfielder Edu, who could miss much of the campaign after suffering a serious knee injury at the weekend. Should Hugo Viana impress at the Mestalla, Valencia will have first option to buy the 22-year-old outright next summer.
Lisbon loan
The playmaker spent last term on loan at his first club, Sporting Clube de Portugal, playing 32 league games. He had left the Lisbon side for Newcastle in June 2002 but failed to win a regular place over the following two seasons. Twenty-three of his 39 English Premiership appearances have come from the substitutes' bench. Edu is due to undergo surgery on a torn knee ligament and faces at least six months on the sidelines. notas_de_prensa_archivo
