Vukcevic chased by giants

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Simon Vukcevic is reportedly being chased by several European giants including Manchester United, Everton, Valencia and Atletico Madrid.

The player's agent, Zoran Stojadinovic said: “The player is very happy because he is playing well and many other clubs are interested in signing him.

“I’ve Spoken to the Sporting board, but the matter will be dealt with at the end of the championship. At the moment we’re not going to make any decision because the club is concentrating on qualifying for the Champions League."

The player is co-owned by Russian side Saturn and Sporting Lisbon, but the potential income of around £4 million each could tempt both into a sale.
