Silas Andersen is already in Lisbon to strengthen Sporting. The Danish midfielder landed at Humberto Delgado Airport on Friday night and is now preparing to complete the final steps before being officially unveiled as a Lions player.

Upon arriving in the Portuguese capital, Silas Andersen said he was pleased with the new challenge in his career, although he did not go into much detail about the move to Sporting: "I’m happy to be here. Always happy to take this step. I’m in a very beautiful city", the Denmark under-21 international told journalists at the airport.

Asked about any possible conversations with Morten Hjulmand, his compatriot who could be on his way out of Alvalade in this summer transfer window, Sporting’s new signing assured there had been no contact. "I haven’t spoken with Hjulmand", he replied.

The player will undergo the usual medical examinations this Saturday before signing a contract valid for five seasons, until June 2031. The deal will also include a release clause set at €80 million.
