I'm pretty sure one of those two teams are in serious money trouble (although I can't remember which).
I imagine most of Europe are hoping Portugal is the equivalent of a warm TK Maxx

Diogo Jota looks decent ... (skip the first bit unless your Portugese is up to it)

Given the clubs recent history of resigning ex players it's DEFINITELY João Carlos Teixeira.

Seriously though, the club is always secretive about players it is after. Have to wonder why Naylor is telling us that and where that information came from. Likelihood is that it's a red herring to throw people off the scent of the real target man.

That striker might be one of these:
Benfica: Raúl Jimenez
Porto: André Silva, Adrián

Rumour is Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal are after Andre Silva

He does fit that number 10 role? But hasn't played a single game this season for Porto

...so may be looking to move, even if only on loan for the rest of the season

Likely to be Teixeira (though he's not a striker).

Was he playing ? No point in going to watch him if he's not on the pitch.

Unlikely to be scouting someone not playing. Bit of a waste of time.

Although I agree with your point... I can't see it being very likely that we'd get either a Porto or Benfica player that is getting game time, as they wouldn't be looking to move.

I see him more as a target man/poacher, a role that's already filled by Superman Glenn and Hemed

Looks like an okay striker, FIFA 17 stats (all i could find) suggest he is strong player with good speed, though lacking in acceleration, at 6'3" is he really the number 10 we are looking for or just another Hemed/Murray?
