"Now, I am another Tiger on the pitch. I hope I can help the club achieve their goals until the end of the season," he said.
“I am a very versatile player. I can understand the situations of the game; that’s why I play three or four different positions, even during the same match.
“My best position is number 10 but I have played many times as a box-to-box number eight, left winger, right winger.

The left-footer has 25 goals and 39 assists in 282 career appearances.
He made his senior debut at Brazilian club Gremio in January 2015 when he was 16, and captained Brazil at that year’s Under-17 World Cup.
Loans to Rizespor in Turkey and America Mineiro in his homeland followed before a move to America Mineiro before signing for Portuguese side Santa Clara in 2019.

Hull owner/chairman Acun Ilicali is a vice-president at Fenerbahce and initiated Lincoln's latest move.
“It was about two weeks ago I met the chairman in Istanbul," the player revealed. "He approached me with the interest.
"I was very glad, very happy. I am 100 per cent ready to try to help the club."
