Agent reacts to Spurs rumours for Sporting CP youngster Bubacar Djalo

The agent of Sporting CP midfielder Bubacar Djalo has played down talk of Tottenham's interest.

Spurs are said to be in talks over a summer deal for Djalo, who has been likened to Juventus star Paul Pogba.

But Pedro Torrão insists: "Now it would not make sense to leave: the most sensible choice is to stay and continue what he has been doing.

"Djalo has grown a lot and gained space in the Sporting Juniors, but to make the jump now would be a step too far.

"Teams interested? No information has been requested, he is not expected to depart soon. It's the first year with the Juniors, let's see how he evolves."
