Player to watch – Pote

While Viktor Gyokeres has taken most of the plaudits for Sporting success this season, Pote has certainly played his part for the club.

The 25-year-old midfielder has chipped in with 11 league goals but it is his creativity that has impressed the most with the Portuguese international providing 12 assists.

Providing Sporting creative spark

We're backing Pote to put in another good performance for Sporting this weekend even though the league title was secured last time out. Pote has scored five goals in his last ten outings in all competitions so don't be surprised if his name appears on the scoresheet this Saturday.
