"I'm very happy to join Al-Nassr, who have a great reputation in the Arab world," Denilson told a press conference on Saturday.

The 29-year-old international became a free agent when he parted ways with French side Bordeaux in the summer.

"The Saudi club's offer was very serious so the negotiations lasted for one week only," he added.

The former Brazil international refuted reports that he is injured, saying that the medical proved he is completely fit.

Denilson was the World's most expensive player in 1998 when he moved from Sao Paulo to Real Betis for $41 million.

The left-sided player made four appearances during Brazil's winning campaign towards World Cup 2002.

He was also a member of the squad that reached the final in 1998.
