Football career
Born in Lagos, Algarve, Viana spent three years as a youth at Sporting Clube de Portugal. In June 2008 the 18-year-old was transferred to F.C. Porto as part of a deal involving Hélder Postiga,[1] with the northerners receiving €2.5 million whereas the Lisbon side retained 50% of Viana's rights.[2] In the 2008–09 season, whilst still a junior, he made his debuts with the first team, appearing in four Portuguese League Cup games and totalling 55 minutes in two wins and two losses; his first game was against Vitória de Setúbal (2–1 home win).
On 17 June 2009 Viana moved on loan to VVV-Venlo, in the Netherlands. He appeared in 23 Eredivisie matches in his first season, helping the Limburg outfit finish in 12th position. In January 2011 he returned to Portugal and joined C.D. Aves in the second division, in the same predicament.
