Barcelona striker Keirrison has been loaned to Cruzeiro - his fifth loan adventure since joining the Catalan club in 2009.
The 22-year-old has failed to make his mark anywhere since moving from Palmeiras to Spain and will be hoping this latest venture to Belo Horizonte proves more successful.
Before moving to Spain, Keirrison was one of the most sought after players in Brazil as he topped the Campeonato scoring charts in 2008 and averaged over a goal every two games for Coritiba.
However, he was loaned out to Benfica and then Fiorentina - both unsuccessful spells - before returning home to Brazil to join Santos.
Even a return to his native country did not help, however, and he will now be hoping to rediscover his goal-scoring form with Cruzeiro.
He has until the end of 2011 to prove himself in Belo Horizonte and he will hope to have impressed both Barcelona and other potential suitors by that time.
Keirrison is off to Cruzeiro until the end of the year.
