Motherwell's New Signing Willy Vogt Brings Brazilian Flair
Motherwell have signed Willy Vogt, a Brazilian-born winger with a Samba style, and he is eager to make a name for himself in European football. The 24-year-old has started to make a name for himself in claret and amber, and he wants to help the Steelmen get past HJK in the first-leg of tonight's Conference League qualifier in Helsinki.
What happened?
Willy Vogt was born in Brazil and his ambition is to one day meet his hero Neymar. For the moment, he wants to put his own Samba skills into practice and help make his own name in European football with Motherwell.
Why it matters for Motherwell
The move was initially pitched by Jens Berthel Askou but then Alfred Johansson replaced him and pushed the transfer through. The new Motherwell player confirmed: 'It was pretty early on, I'd say before the transfer window even started. We had talks with me, my agent, Nick (Daws, head of recruitment) and the old trainer. From then on, it was just a match for me but then something changed and it took time.'
What comes next?
A big thing for the Swiss under-age cap was getting the chance to play in European football. He played his part in the last round, winning the penalty away to Havnar Boltfelag. He is looking to chip in with even more goals and assists.
Motherwell have opened up under Johansson with three wins and a 100% start. The team is currently 4th in the Premiership, with 54 points from 33 games, and a goal difference of +23. They are 16 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian in the title race. The team's recent form is 2W-1D-2L, with a 2-game winning run.
Currently sidelined are Apostolos Stamatelopoulos, Callum Hendry, Jordan McGhee, Paul McGinn, and Stephen O'Donnell.
Why Willy Vogt is excited about Motherwell
Willy Vogt added: 'Of course, it's one of the reasons I decided to come to Motherwell, because it's a big opportunity. I think, for every football player who dreams of becoming professional to play European football. It's been a big part of the decision.'
