Striker's agent not ruling out move to Portuguese giants

Sporting Lisbon could make a move for Heerenveen striker Bas Dost after already swooping for fellow Dutchman Ricky Wolfswinkel, according to his agent. The Portuguese giants captured Wolfswinkel in a reported €6million (£5.3m) deal from FC Utrecht last week. They were understood to have turned their attention to FC Groningen forward Tim Matavz to further bolster their attacking resources, but reportedly failed to reach an agreement with the club. Dost's agent, Henk Nienhuis, claims Sporting could now move for the Heerenveen youngster, but says nothing is concrete. He said in Omrop Fryslan: "It would perhaps happen, but it is still a long way off." Dost has impressed for Heerenveen since joining from Heracles Almelo last year, scoring 13 goals in 32 Eredivisie appearances. The 22-year-old, a Netherlands Under 21 international, has also been linked with a move to Dutch champions Ajax.
