Soccer-Al Jazira sign Peru's Farfan from Schalke

BERLIN, July 24 (Reuters) - Al Jazira have signed Peru international Jefferson Farfan from Schalke 04 on a three-year contract, the United Arab Emirates club said on Friday. "Farfan joins Al Jazira for three-years contract," the club said on Twitter. The deal for the 30-year-old winger cost a reported seven million euros ($7.66 million). The speedy Farfan, who spent seven years in the Bundesliga with Schalke, missed much of last season due to injuries and had asked for a transfer despite having a year left on his contract.
