Sporting may walk away from Yeremay: Here’s why | OneFootball

Sporting continues to view the possible signing of Yeremay Hernández favorably, the winger they were unable to secure during the last summer transfer window. Nevertheless, Alisson Santos has the chance to ‘kick the Deportivo La Coruña player to the sidelines.’

Although the Lions’ plan A for the Brazilian player was not for him to become a 100% first-team option this season, the fact that the green and white management failed to sign a winger—with Jota Silva and Yeremay being the main targets—means Alisson has become a valid choice for Rui Borges. At this moment, he knows he has three months to earn his place in the team, that is, until the winter transfer window.

For now, the player has been pleasing Rui Borges, which has led to him featuring in Sporting’s last five matches—against Porto, Famalicão, Kairat, Moreirense, and Estoril. In two of those, he even made his debut by scoring and assisting in the green and white stripes. Now, the coach’s goal is to work on the tactical side with the player.

Furthermore, 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 Seleção, and his goal against the Kazakhs of Kairat, in his Champions League debut, gives hope to that possibility.

Despite being a regular pick in Rui Borges’ squads, Alisson Santos—valued at 1.5 million euros—still hasn’t accumulated much playing time at the start of this season. Since his arrival at Sporting, the Brazilian winger has only logged 49 minutes across six appearances, with one goal and one assist.
