AC Milan have confirmed they have signed Brazil U-20 goalkeeper Gabriel Ferreira from Cruzeiro.

The 19-year-old will become I Rossoneri's third-string goalkeeper behind Christian Abbiati and Marco Amelia.

"Gabriel will be registered in the Lega Serie A in the next few weeks and will join the team in pre-season training on 9 July," a statement from AC Milan read.

Ferreira, who holds a European passport, started his career in Cruzeiro's youth section before being promoted to the senior side.
