Boro broke their club transfer record when they signed the 27-year-old from Heerenveen for an estimated £12.5m, so they will be just as eager for the start of a new adventure, which will most likely commence against Fulham this weekend.
"I'm very excited to be here. Middlesbrough is a good team," beamed Alves after having receved his work permit on Tuesday.
"I have the option of training this week and hopefully I will be chosen to play on Saturday," he added.
"I haven't set myself a goal target, I just want to achieve something good for the whole team."
Alves, who has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract at the Riverside, has scored a remarkable 45 goals in 38 league games for Heerenveen since signing from Swedish side Malmo for £3 million in the summer of 2006.
