Algerian Brahimi joins Porto

LISBON (Reuters) - Algerian international Yacine Brahimi, who helped his country reach the second round at the World Cup, has joined Porto from Granada in a 6.5 million-euro (5.13 million pounds) deal, the Portuguese club said on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old midfielder has signed a five-year contract.

French-born Brahimi scored for Algeria in their 4-2 win over South Korea in Porto Alegre last month.

He also netted the winner in a shock Spanish La Liga victory for lowly Granada over Barcelona in April.
