Tomás da Cunha on Sporting signing: "He'll never offer Morita's..."

Issa Doumbia will be a new signing for Sporting's squad next season. The Venezia midfielder arrives after a season of enormous growth, something that has been highlighted by several analysts, including Tomás da Cunha.

T. da Cunha: “Within Rui Borges' model, Doumbia will never offer Morita’s qualities in build-up areas"

He needs to be properly used to make the most of his strengths in progression and attacking the finishing zones (good qualities to receive and set up a shot).”
