This young man is a well kept secret in Sporting Lisbon, but scouts from English clubs saw him in youth squad games and U19 national squad.
The numbers are incredible; Wilson Eduardo is scoring more than a goal per game in youth categories. It is obvious that he has grown past his peers, but the Lisbon club that gave many talents (it is enough to say only: Ronaldo) don’t want to pressure him, so the coach was suggested to wait a bit longer before he summons him to the A squad.
He is a fast and not so strong player but he combines it with excellent dribbling. It is hard to find a Portuguese player with such a sense for scoring, Wilson Eduardo is certainly, the future of the national squad. The ones who saw him play, compare him to the famous German striker Gerd Muller, who easily finds the way to the opposite net.
He shined on the international tournaments, but so far Sporting refuse even to talk about his possible sale. Liverpool and Chelsea asked about the price, but “Lions” director denies any possibility for Wilson Eduardo to move on the island.
In case they don’t resist the big offers from big clubs, Sporting won’t be the first that sold the player who hasn’t even played in A squad. Two of former Portuguese internationals, Pedro Pauleta and Luis Boa Morte have also been sold before they started playing for their A squad.
