He joined Wolfsburg back in the winter of 2012 when he left Greek side PAOK in a £4 million deal. His move was not an instant success as it took him more than a year to get his first goal for the side, eventually arriving in a 5-2 win over Freiburg in March 2013.
The Portuguese international has suffered with injuries throughout his time in Germany, meaning the move is potentially high-risk Schalke. He missed 8 months in late 2013 / early 2014 with ruptured knee ligaments, and miss almost 12 months with an ankle ligament injury while still in Greece.
The player has 12 caps and 1 goal for his national side, and is normally deployed in either the right back or right wing position, though is equally comfortable behind the front man in a number 10 role.
Schalke are keen to boost their squad in anticipation of more European football next term – they are currently 3rd in the league which in Germany is the final Champions League spot.
