Gżira sign former Birkirkara striker Liliu

Gżira United have secured the signing of Brazilian striker Liliu. With the August transfer window closing at midnight on Wednesday, Gżira moved to strengthen their forward line with the acquisition of Liliu who played for Birkirkara last season. The Maroons, promoted to the Premier League at the end of last season after winning the Division One championship, have been one of the busiest clubs in the transfer market, recruiting a host of new players, especially foreigners, in a bid to boost their chances of maintaining their top-flight status. They have made a low-key start to their league campaign, gaining two points after successive 1-1 draws against Tarxien Rainbows and Ħamrun Spartans. Their two goals have been scored by Brazilian defender Tony as Gżira, led by coach Branko Nisevic, have looked short of punch in attack, a weakness that prompted the club to move for Liliu who is expected to fly to Malta in the coming days.
