Sporting Lisbon's Djalo attracting interest from Newcastle, Tottenham

Sporting Lisbon forward Yannick Djalo is attracting interest from English clubs Newcastle United and Tottenham according to his agent.

The 24-year old Guinea-Bissauan-born Portugal man is open to a proposed Premier League move says agent Lionel Silva who also confirmed interest from the Magpies and Spurs.

"The two clubs are interested," Silva told the Sunday Sun.

"But we have not reached an understanding with regard to price. We have to wait a little longer.

"He (Djalo) fancies the idea of going to England, because playing in the English Premier League is a dream for most players.

"But while there is not total agreement on a deal, Yannick has to report to work (at Sporting) every day."
