Alisson Santos set for a big gift at Sporting, and he already knows when 🎁 | OneFootball

Rui Borges is expected to give a real 'gift' to Alisson Santos and already knows when: in the Portuguese Cup. If he continues to perform as he has in recent opportunities, the Brazilian player will have the chance to make his debut in Sporting's starting eleven against Paços de Ferreira.

At this point, the winger has three consecutive games where he made a difference for the Lions as soon as he came off the bench, so after the next international break, the green and white coach might give this 'reward' to the player who arrived at Alvalade last summer. Rui Borges is pleased with the dedication and attitude he has shown in training.

So far, the player has been in action in Sporting's last five games - Porto, Famalicão, Kairat, Moreirense, and Estoril - and in two of them, he even debuted by scoring and assisting with the green and white stripes. Now, the coach aims to work on the tactical aspect with the canary.

Moreover, it's worth remembering that the young forward wants to play for the Brazilian national team. The player dreams of being called up to represent the canary team, and the goal against the Kazakhs of Kairat, in his Champions League debut, fuels that possibility.

Despite being a regular choice in Rui Borges' call-ups, Alisson Santos - valued at 1.5 million euros - has not yet accumulated much playing time at the start of this season. Since his arrival at Sporting, the Brazilian winger has only accumulated 49 minutes in six matches, with one goal scored and one assist.
