Vasco da Gama have completed the signing of former Brazil international Luis Fabiano from Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian.

The 36-year-old striker, who enjoyed successful spells at Sevilla and Sao Paulo before his move to China, has become Vasco's eighth new signing ahead of Brazil's new Serie A season.

Fabiano has been a prolific goalscorer for clubs in Europe and South America during his 19-year career, finding the net more than 200 times in three spells at Sao Paulo and scoring 72 goals in 149 LaLiga appearances for Sevilla, where he was twice a UEFA Cup winner.

The powerful forward also scored 28 goals in 45 appearances for Brazil between 2003 and 2013, winning the Copa America in 2004 and Confederations Cup in 2009.
