THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 25-year-old, who worked under head coach Ruben Amorim, is also reportedly a target for Manchester United but Record's report does not name the other two Premier League sides linked with him. Understandably, teams are pursuing the Portuguese as he has eight goals and 15 assists in 31 league games this season.
