Sporting Lisbon are playing hardball over the Euro 2016 winning midfielder, 25.

West Ham striker Diafra Sakho is a transfer target for Bordeaux and Lazio.
The Senegal striker, 27, has appeared in both Premier League games this season, but has fallen down the pecking order behind Javier Hernandez and Marko Arnautovic.

Soares is joining on a season’s loan and fills the void left by Scott Malone’s £3million summer switch to Huddersfield.
