Thomas Frank wants Sporting star as January signing | OneFootball

Sporting will have the tough task of holding onto Morten Hjulmand in the winter market. Those interested in the green and white captain are not giving up on a potential signing, and Tottenham will proceed with a negotiation round next January.

According to information advanced by Fichajes, Hjulmand is a desire of Thomas Frank. The Tottenham coach is a compatriot of Sporting's 'jersey 42', and the Spanish portal ensures that the coach has expressly asked the Londoners' board for the signing of the green and white star.

The same source states that the Premier League emblem is willing to pay 60 million euros for Morten Hjulmand, 20M less than the player's termination clause. However, Sporting will not make life easy for any of the interested parties in the midfielder.

In the summer, Hjulmand could have left Alvalade, but Frederico Varandas revealed he made a pact with the captain: "I want to give a word to our captain, because he refused 'N' proposals to earn triple and agreed... We had a conversation with the administration and Morten will stay another year. But we held onto Morten".

This season, with the Sporting jersey, Morten Hjulmand - valued at 50 million euros - participated in seven matches. The captain of the greens and whites was a starter in all the matches played by the lions, having scored a goal in 610 minutes of play.
