13 April 2012
Brazil's World Cup-winning striker Edilson is close to agreeing a two-year contract with Japanese side Kashiwa Reysol.
The 31-year-old, who played in four of Brazil's matches in Japan and South Korea, is reported to have accepted a £1.3 million deal.
Edilson is at present contracted to Brazilian side Flamengo, but has been on loan at Cruzeiro, where he has scored 11 times in 16 games for the club.
The fee for the move to Kashiwa Reysol is likely to be around £600,000.
Meanwhile, the South Korean government plans to issue 24 postage stamps featuring former national team coach Guus Hiddink, who has returned to PSV Eindhoven, and all 23 members of the national squad which reached the World Cup semi-finals.
