Heads up! Cheveyo Tsawa on the radar, could alter Sporting's plans | OneFootball

Sporting are keeping an eye on Cheveyo Tsawa’s situation and have already identified the young Swiss midfielder as a possible option to strengthen the midfield in this summer transfer window. According to Sky Sports Switzerland, the Zurich player is on the Lions’ shortlist, as they look for solutions in case a deal for Sergi Altimira falls through.

The same source indicates that Tsawa has emerged as an alternative plan to the Betis midfielder, at a time when negotiations for the Spaniard are still far from being completed. The Swiss central midfielder, just 19 years old, fits the profile sought by Sporting’s decision-makers, who remain committed to deeply reshaping the midfield department.

However, Sporting face strong competition. Club Brugge are said to be the club furthest ahead in the race for the player, while Lens have also already taken concrete steps to try to secure the signing. The French side are even reported to have submitted an offer close to seven million euros, including bonuses.

Despite the reports linking Tsawa with the green-and-whites, the player’s agent insists there has been no formal contact. Speaking to newspaper O Jogo, Giacomo Petralito was unequivocal: "I have had no contact from Sporting".

Developed at Zurich, Cheveyo Tsawa - valued at 6 million euros - made 36 appearances in the 2025/26 season, contributing two goals and two assists. The young Swiss international continues to attract interest across several European markets and could be one of the standout names in the coming weeks.
