I will get to feature regularly in matches at Sporting Lisbon, says Jeffren Suarez – Liga Sagres News
Barcelona youngster, Jeffren Suarez, is on the verge of a move to Sporting Lisbon and claims that the allure of playing regularly is the reason why he chose Jose Alvalade as his destination.
The talented starlet primarily took to the field as a substitute at Camp Nou and had to fight for a place in Pep Guardiola’s ultra-competitive side. With world-class players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 already cementing a first team spot, Jeffren had
to endure the heartache of playing only 13 times for the Catalans last season.
With the prospect of facing another season warming the bench, the Spaniard chose to part ways with the European champions after 5 years of service. Although he never managed to crack the Barca first team, Jeffren abilities were undoubted and many clubs showed
their interest in acquiring him. However, in the end, La Roja International chose Sporting Lisbon as his next employers.
Once a force to be reckoned with in the Portuguese league, Sporting were brushed aside by the quadruple-winning http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 in the last campaign and looked a shadow of their former selves. In order to relive their glory days, the club invested in nearly 18
players this summer and were keen to bolster their squad with Jeffren’s talents.
After leaving the Catalan’s pre-season camp in the US, the front man travelled to Lisbon for adding the final touches to transfer and complete a routine medical examination. Speaking to reporters, Jeffren clearly explained that the main reason behind him
joining the Lions was because he would be able to play week-in, week-out, something that was not possible in Catalonia.
"I am very excited to be moving to Sporting and will give everything for the club. Sporting are a great side where I will have the chance to get regular first team action."
"Additionally, I will continue to play for trophies as Sporting always fight for trophies," the attacker was quoted as saying.
The Spanish striker now joins the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oguchi-Onyewu-c28332 at the club and will be looking forward to new season in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
