Rui Borges target quizzed on move: If I've joined Sporting? I hope not | OneFootball

The transfer of Silas Andersen to Sporting still has no official confirmation, but in Sweden it is already being seen as practically inevitable. After Hacken’s 3-2 win over Hammarby, coach Jens Gustafsson did not hide the impact the midfielder’s departure could have, although the player has so far denied any agreement.

“Of course, if he leaves, the whole Swedish league will lose a major figure, because everyone, when they look at Hacken, looks at Silas Andersen,” said the coach. The Denmark Under-21 international once again stood out by scoring one of the goals in the team’s comeback, in a performance that further reinforced the sense of a farewell.

At the end of the match, Andersen stayed with the fans for several minutes, signing autographs and taking photos, fueling suspicions that he may have played one of his last games for the Nordic club before heading to Alvalade.

Asked about the link with Sporting, the midfielder replied in a relaxed tone and tried to avoid giving anything away: “The directors told me to sign autographs, and that’s what I did. Have I signed for Sporting? I hope not. It’s a big club. It would be a step forward to see what I can do at that level,” he admitted.

The deal is very well advanced, and Andersen is expected to travel to Lisbon in the coming days to finalize the last details of the transfer. However, the player himself continues to keep his future under wraps: “Am I going to Lisbon during the holidays? No, no, I’m going to Copenhagen and then heading to Greece to catch some sun and relax, which is also needed. Then we’ll see,” concluded the young midfielder.
