Sporting Lisbon are looking to advance on a loan with an option to buy for West Ham United winger Luis Guilherme and they have been ‘working concretely behind the scenes’ to put a deal in place.

The former Brazil youth international joined the London club last year from Brazilian outfit Palmeiras for a hefty £25.5m fee on a five-year deal.

And when the Brazilian Serie A club sold him to the Irons, they negotiated a sell-on clause in the teenage winger’s contract.
