Portuguese newspaper O Jogo features today an interesting story on SC Braga defender Bruno Viana, who’s set to face Leicester City in the Europa League tonight.
The outlet claims that the player has been wanted by the Foxes twice in his career, and will now finally have the chance of playing against them.
It’s said his form in the 2018/19 season drew attention from Leicester City scouts, and there were observations last season as well.
The Premier League side never engaged in ‘concrete talks’ with Braga, abut there were approaches and ‘evaluations’ made.
O Jogo writes this is a good opportunity for the Brazilian to ‘show his qualities live’ and impress Leicester directly. It’s a ‘game to show off’, and refresh transfer interest.The newspaper claims that besides the Foxes, Leeds United have also held an interest in recent years.
So by showing his potential on English soil, perhaps Bruno Viana will finally convince Leicester or another Premier League club to move for him.
