    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The 25-year-old, who worked under head coach Ruben Amorim, is also reportedly a target for Manchester United but Record's report does not name the other two Premier League sides linked with him. Understandably, teams are pursuing the Portuguese as he has eight goals and 15 assists in 31 league games this season.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Record state that Arsenal and the two other Premier League clubs have made contact with the player's entourage, and all three are offering Trincao a €3 million a year salary after tax.
