Santos sign keeper Aranha

    RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- The Santos（桑托斯） soccer team announced on Wednesday the signing of goalkeeper Aranha (or Spider in English). The ace¹ keeper signed a three-year contract.
    Aranha' s arrival will produce a healthy contest with Rafael for the team' s starting goalie. Aranha left Atletico-MG after the team decided² not to renew his contract.
    Santos' newest member will join the rest of the team on January 3 for pre-season training. Another Santos addition to the 2011 roster³ is midfielder Charles.
