Australian forward Garang Kuol joined sessions with Sporting CP in Lisbon amid talk of a new high-water mark for an Aussie deal. The projected deal value would mark a new standard for an Australian export. Sporting analysts suggested Lisbon is Kuol's top pick for a new club despite interest filtering from bigger English sides. Failing to lock into rigid structures, the forward spent days training alongside the Portuguese outfit while rumors picked up steam. Club staff voiced optimism about closing out a deal.
