A report surfaced Tuesdaythat Orlando City was set to acquire Brazilian striker Júlio Baptista to add depth to its strike force behind Cyle Larin. The report was confirmed later by comments from Adrian Heath and a tweet from Lions captain Kaká. Earlier today, the team confirmed the signing.

The 34-year old striker has previously played for esteemed clubs such as Arsenal, AS Roma, Real Madrid and São Paulo, where he played with Kaká. More recently, he's played in his home country of Brazil for Cruzeiro.
