Sporting CP are closing a deal for Everton goalkeeper Joao Virginia.

The Portugal U21 international is set to join Sporting on a season-long loan.

Virginia will move to Sporting as a replacement for Luís Maximiano, who has agreed a move with Granada.

Virginia renewed his contract with Everton in September, extending his deal to 2024.

The goalkeeper will move to Sporting after Everton snapped up Asmir Begovic from Bournemouth as cover for Jordan Pickford.
