Maritimo bring in Linz and Brazilian prospect
Islanders boost attacking options
 Maritimo have moved to reinforce their attacking options before the summer transfer deadline by bringing in Sporting Braga striker Roland Linz and Brazilian forward Kleber.
Carlos Carvalhal has made a point of contracting players who have experience of the Portuguese league. He informed the Madeira club’s board that he would like to add Austrian marksman Linz to the squad, and Maritimo president Carlos Pereira said he expected the deal to be completed by Wednesday.
Linz found the net regularly in the Liga Sagres for both Boavista and Braga, but fell out of favour at the Arsenalistas last season after failing to see eye to eye with the then coach Jorge Jesus.
Maritimo have also brought in Brazilian forward Kleber. The 19-year-old has signed a one-year contract from Atletico Mineiro.
