In a press conference on January 12, Barclays Premier League powerhouse Santos officially announced that Brazilian striker Golat, who played for Guangzhou, has officially become a member of the team. The partnership will last until December 31, 2023, when Golat will wear the No. 10 kit, a symbol of honor.
Dating back to 2015, Gallagher has joined Guangzhou with a stellar performance

(now renamed Guangzhou), where he appeared in 174 games of all kinds, helping the team win three of its first tournaments, including three of the
China Super League (soccer league)
Championship, one AFC Championship and one
AFC Cup (soccer championship)
championship, among many other honors. Last November, Gaolat's contract with Guangzhou expired and he subsequently returned to Brazil. During this period, he attracted the attention of several Brazilian clubs. After some fierce competition, Santos FC finally succeeded in taking him under their wing.
Talking about how he feels about joining Santos, Gallagher excitedly said in an interview, "Ever since I first came into contact with Santos in negotiations, I've had a strong interest in this prestigious club. I am incredibly proud to wear the Santos jersey, especially that widely recognized number 10. I promise to do my best to interpret that number in the best possible way, in honor of Ballon d'Or winner Pele."
