I thought Google might sort 111 rapidly, but it didn't! Are the clues straight, cryptic, or some of each?

Straight but not straightforward!

There's a Brazilian international playing in Italy's Serie A who fits the bill, except that he is (7,5,2,5)

I wonder if the setter has included a "Da" as an intergral part of the surname?

Thanks Chrise. Just found one with Da in Serie A (thanks Spoffy) but too many s’s.

Yes, I suspect his 'de' (rather than 'da') has been compounded with the rest of his surname. He came on as a sub on Thursday night...

Hi Spoffy - think I found him but only allowed 2 s’s.

Ah, so it needs to be exactly 2 s's and 1 g. The names that he is usually known by (7,5) would work very nicely...if it weren't for that extra 7 on the end!
