Sporting and Lille in the race for Keny Arroyo | OneFootball

Sporting have a strong focus on the South American market, with Keny Arroyo emerging as one of the names on the table. The young forward, currently playing for Cruzeiro, has been catching the eye under Artur Jorge, and is seen as one of the main figures in the Minas Gerais side.

At 20 years old, the Ecuador international is one of the regular starters in the Brazilian team. Even so, his future in Belo Horizonte is far from guaranteed, at a time when European interest is once again putting pressure on the structure of the yellow-and-green club.

According to Ecuadorian outlet MrOFF, the Lions have already taken the first steps, making an initial approach to understand the conditions of a possible deal, a scenario that could gain momentum after the next World Cup.

Developed at Independiente del Valle, the winger began to stand out professionally in 2023, before moving to Turkish side Besiktas and later to the club now managed by Artur Jorge. French club Lille are also keeping an eye on the player. Going the other way, Francisco Trincão has been linked with Liverpool.

This season for Cruzeiro, Keny Arroyo – valued at €9 million – has made 25 appearances. In total, across the 1,478 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the forward has scored three goals and provided three assists.
