Sampdoria today announced the signing of Ronaldo Vieira - I know, what a name - from Leeds United. The central midfielder is highly rated among the Leeds fanbase but new coach Marcelo Bielsa is seemingly not keen on the player and has wasted no time in shipping him off.

Sampdoria have mimicked that design with their announcement of Ronaldo Vieira because, well, why not? It's not every day you sign a player called Ronaldo.
They've even added their signature blue, white, red and black stripe across the bottom.
