David Moyes is to splash out £35m to land the Sporting Lisbon youngster, who’s form has helped his side mount a genuine Primeira Liga title challenge whilst also separating Portuguese big boys Benfica and FC Porto in the table.
His displays have also led to a call-up to the Portuguese national team set-up and will almost certainly see him secure a spot in Paulo Bento’s 2014 World Cup finals squad.
