Brighton & Hove Albion and Fulham both sen representatives to Portugal at the weekend, the local media says.
Newspaper A Bola writes that the Seagulls and Whites both had scouts at the league match between Porto and Sporting on Sunday.
Such a decisive game was undoubtedly a great showcase to find some summer targets, and that’s certainly what Brighton and Fulham were doing there.
Porto were the first to show their strength, opening up a 2-0 lead with goals from Evanilson and Pepê. Then Sporting star Viktor Gyokeres showed why he’s one of the most hyped players in Europe right now, and scored two goals to equalise the match and nearly give the Lions the league title.
The exciting factor about those scouting missions is that it remains completely unclear who Brighton and Fulham could be watching in that game, and it should be no surprise if both clubs come after a Porto player in the summer. That’s because recent reports had already claimed that Brighton saw the Dragons’ game against Vitória Guimarães, while the Whites were present at their draw against Famalicão.
