Soccer-Algerian Brahimi joins Porto

LISBON, July 23 (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 ($8.8 million) 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. ($1 = 0.7427 Euros) (Reporting by Mark Gleeson; Editing by Ed Osmond)
