The youngster is reported in Portugal to fetch a fee of nearly £13 million. Sporting will also receive 10% of the fee that Everton receive if they sell the forward in the future. It is important for the English side to avoid spending big on any one player as they look to survive another brutal Premier League season that, if they do not play their best, could again see them threatened with relegation to the Championship.
