Australian forward Garang Kuol joined sessions with Sporting CP in Lisbon as reports tied him to a new high-water mark for an Aussie deal. The reported price tag would mark a new standard for an Australian export. Sporting analysts suggested Lisbon is Kuol's top pick for a new club despite Premier League clubs hovering. Short on structural reliability, the forward spent days training alongside the Portuguese outfit as the guessing game jumped. Club staff appeared upbeat about closing out a deal.
