Yann Gboho targeted by Sporting to fill Pote's spot | OneFootball

Sporting have Yann Gboho as one of the main names on the table to strengthen the attack in this summer transfer window. The winger, who plays for Toulouse, has gained momentum in recent hours after the Lions cooled their interest in Yeremay Hernández due to the high fees demanded to complete the transfer.

The green-and-white SAD has set a maximum ceiling of €30 million to sign Pote’s successor and, for that reason, has started exploring more affordable alternatives. Among the identified targets is the French attacker, who appeals to the Sporting hierarchy and has emerged as one of the candidates to strengthen the left side of the attack.

The possible signing is a process independent of the arrival of Jesse Derry, the young English player loaned by Chelsea. Although Pedro Gonçalves is already back working with the team, Rui Borges still wants another option for the attacking sector.

Sporting continue to assess other possibilities to strengthen the attacking department, but the Frenchman is on the shortlist of players who fit the profile sought by the club’s hierarchy. In the coming weeks, the green-and-white officials are expected to intensify contacts in order to understand the conditions demanded by the French side.

At 25, Yann Gboho - valued at €18 million - is coming off one of the best seasons of his career with Toulouse. The winger ended the campaign with 10 goals and five assists in 36 matches, playing a leading role in the team.
