Joao Moutinho has given his clearest indication yet that
he could soon be playing in The Premier League.
The Sporting midfielder confesses that he would find the
opportunity to move to England difficult to turn down, alerting
Everton to a potential summer bid.
The Toffees have long admired the 22-year-old Portugal
international, with Sporting claiming last July that an
£11.8million offer was rebuffed.
However, Moutinho told Portuguese media: “If I receive a good
offer from England it will be difficult to reject.”
Moutinho is under contract at Estadio Jose Alvalade until 2013,
which means any potential clubs interested in the youngster would
be forced to pay top price if they are to tempt Sporting into
selling one of their brightest talents.
