Exclusive Leonino – Jota Silva deal collapse hands boost to Sporting player | OneFootball

Alisson Santos is the main beneficiary of Jota Silva's non-arrival at Sporting, Leonino knows. The Portuguese ended up heading to Besiktas and threw a wrench in the plans of the Board and Rui Borges who did not plan to regularly rely on the Brazilian player.

According to information gathered by our Journal, the strategy devised around the canary was greatly altered due to the non-signing of a winger. Since the lions ended up not hiring any option for the wings, Alisson's 'integration' season fell through.

For now, the player is pleasing Rui Borges, which has led him to be in action in the last four Sporting games - Porto, Famalicão, Kairat and Moreirense -, in the last two, he even debuted scoring and assisting with the green and white striped jersey. Now, the coach's goal is to work on the tactical aspect with the player.

Moreover, it's worth remembering that the young forward wants to play for the Brazilian national team. The player dreams of being called to represent the canarinha and the goal against the Kazakhs of Kairat, in the Champions League debut, gives hope to this possibility.

Despite being a regular bet in Rui Borges' call-ups, Alisson Santos - valued at 1.5 million euros - has not yet had much playing time this early in the season. Since his arrival at Sporting, the Brazilian winger has only accumulated 43 minutes, in five game appearances, with one goal scored and one assist.
