Eder Militao: Porto's Quiet Golden Boy Hoping to Make a Big Noise at Real Madrid

Every corner you turn in Portugal's second city, Porto, you seem to run into a church. They are everywhere, each one more breathtaking than the last, displaying an evolution of architectural styles. Possibly the most impressive of them, Sao Francisco, is also known as "the golden church."

And not without a reason.

It's believed the interior of the church holds approximately 900 pounds of bright gold leaf, most of it having come from Brazil, which was a Portuguese colony between the 16th and 19th centuries.

And in defender Eder Militao, it looks like Porto have again struck gold in Brazil.
