Sporting CP head coach Ruben Amorim risks repeating a mistake that has been made by another coach recently.

That is the view of Jornal Noticias, who state that if he does sign for Liverpool, he has asked for several Sporting players to join him. Ousmane Diomande and Viktor Gyokeres are both being linked with the Reds.

While Amorim may have positive intentions, he risks committing the error of Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman brought in Antony and Lisandro Martinez from Ajax, while he knew of Tyrell Malacia from the Eredivisie as well.

Even several of his targets this past summer, including Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat, were known to him through previous jobs.

Amorim is now considered the favorite to replace Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield hotseat.
