Morita's bosses want to stop Irankunda joining Sporting | OneFootball

Watford have rejected a bid from Hull City to sign Nestory Irankunda, leaving the young Australian winger’s future unresolved. The 20-year-old continues to attract interest from several clubs, including Sporting, who are closely monitoring his situation.

Hidemasa Morita’s new club failed to convince the English side, who decided to reject the approach. As a result, the Australian international remains tied to Watford.

In addition to Hull City, Celta de Vigo also tried to secure the player’s signing. The Spanish club also submitted a bid to Watford, but it met the same outcome and was rejected by the English side.

Sporting remain, however, in a strong position to secure the winger’s signing. The Lions are said to have reached an agreement in principle for the player’s transfer, in a deal valued at around €22 million.

If the deal moves into its final stages, Nestory Irankunda could become one of Sporting’s signings for the new season. The footballer is seen as one for the future and an option to strengthen Rui Borges’ team’s attack.
