Word on the street is he turned up with his father (agent) at dortmund and they didn't know why they were there and told them to piss off.

Interesting post. I think I get the gist of it but care to clarify?

This is what i've read on twatter - Only explanation i can find anywhere, but a few people seem to have the same jist. They turned up to dortmund uninvited. Reported in Portugal as a bizarre situation and is returning to sporting?? So fuck knows.

A bit like the Peter Odemwingie incident which was live on Sky on transfer deadline day a few years back when he drove to QPR - thinking a last minute deal would go through - when he arrived at circa 11:00pm - the security card told him to fuck off! He looked a right prick.

Would he be our 3rd choice striker ?

Thanks for sharing. Wild situation. I’d like us to sign him just for the sheer unexpectedness of it.

Rather he be the deputy to Sane as a power winger on the left. He can definitely get game time as a striker though as well.

From what I've seen, he played mostly as LW at youth teams.
Can't say anything about his intelligence, but his technique and physical attributes are no less impressive than Sane's.

There's a paragraph in there that possibly explains everything:

The negotiations are very advanced, as Sporting try to block Benfica from stealing their young talent. The Eagles offered the player a signing prize of €4m, but he’s not keen on creating any trouble by joining rivals.

His father appears to be acting as his agent and it sniffs more and more as pure greed.
