Sporting and Porto join race for Irankunda's compatriot striker | OneFootball

Mohamed Touré is on the list of players Sporting are monitoring for their attack. After Zan Vipotnik, the 22-year-old Australian forward is seen as a possible solution for the future if Luis Suárez leaves Alvalade.

The information was reported by journalist Rudy Galetti, who says the Lions are keeping a close eye on the Norwich City player’s situation. Porto and Hull City have also reportedly asked for information about the striker, increasing the competition for the player.

Mohamed Touré is under contract with the Championship club until 2030 and, at the start of the 2026/27 season, has made two appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Norwich invested €3 million to sign the Australian international, who shares the national team with Nestory Irankunda, Sporting’s most recent signing.

Before moving to England, the forward played for Adelaide United, Reims and Paris FC, before making a bigger name for himself in Scandinavian football with Randers. His performances ultimately opened the door to Norwich.

Sporting still count on Luis Suárez, but are preparing alternatives for any eventuality in this final stretch of the transfer window. Mohamed Touré has now emerged as one of the names identified by the green-and-white hierarchy in case it becomes necessary to look for a new striker.
