Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso has set Premier
League clubs' pulses racing after revealing he wants to leave the
Portuguese capital at the end of the season.
The 22-year-old defensive midfielder, who has made seven
appearances for his country, is believed to be a target of both
Arsenal and Bolton, who were linked with a £12 million move for the
player in the winter transfer window.
But Gary Megson's side may now not be the only English side
chasing Veloso's signature in the summer, after the player's father
Antonio revealed his son wants to negotiate a deal enabling him to
leave the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
“I will guarantee that he will continue here until at least the end
of the season, and then we will see what is going to happen,” he
said.
"We will speak with the club to resolve everything about his future
so that he doesn't leave the club on bad terms."
