Sporting Lisbon striker Rodrigo Tiui says none of the players are unhappy with Joao Moutinho over his ambitions to join Everton.

There has been reports of Moutinho being shunned by Sporting teammates after publicly declaring last week that he wants to leave.

But Rodrigo Tiui said: "He is a great player and a great person. If he leaves it will be very sad, but we leave this matter to the Board. We know that they'll treat him the right way.

"Moutinho is an excellent professional and is very committed to training."
