La Liga outfit, Real Sociedad on Thursday confirmed the signing of Surinam international forward, Sheraldo Becker from German club, Union Berlin for a fee of 2.1 million euros.

The 28-year-old has agreed on a two-and-a-half-year contract until the end of June 2026, with the option of extending the agreement for a further year, with the San Sebastian-based club and replacing French forward Momo Cho.

Cho has recently moved back to France to join Nice after an unsuccessful 18-month spell in Spain.

"Real Sociedad have reached an agreement with FC Union Berlin for the transfer of the player Sheraldo Becker," confirms the Real Sociedad website.

Born in Amsterdam, Becker began his career in the Ajax youth system, before joining PEC Zwolle and ADO Den Haag and then moving to Germany, where he spent four years in Berlin, scoring 24 goals in 140 appearances.

Although Becker represented the Netherlands at youth categories from Under-16 to Under-20, in 2021 he switched his allegiance to Surinam and has scored two goals in seven international appearances.

He could make his debut on Saturday when Real Sociedad, who on Wednesday booked a place in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey with a 2-0 win away to Osasuna, visit Celta Vigo.
