Sporting target Heerenveen striker Bas Dost – Portuguese Primeira Liga news
According to reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, Lisbon-based outfit Sporting CP are looking to lure the Dutch forward, Bas Dost, to Estadio Jose Alvalade.
The 22-year-old started his career in the youth ranks of Germanicus, but later moved to FC Emmen, and it was here that the Orange International made his name with several shining performances, most notable of which was his winning hat-trick against BV Veendam.
His goalscoring exploits lead to a bidding war for the star striker in 2008 and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Heracles-Almelo-c39520 ultimately won the battle for his signature with a transfer fee of more than €300,000. Dost’s undoubted talents were highly regarded in the Eredivisie and Heracles
were aware that they could not hold onto their player for much longer.
And soon enough, the talented starlet was on the move again, this time to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463 for a mouth watering fee of around €2.5 million, penning a five-year deal. His goalscoring statistics at Abe Lenstra Stadion have been impressive as he netted 13 goals
in 32 appearances.
The 6-foot-5 striker is now on the wish list of Sporting Lisbon, who have been very active in the transfer market this season and have already landed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricky-van-Wolfswinkel-c31131 from Utrecht for €5.4 million.
The Portuguese giants are in the process of revamping the club as they look to emulate their golden days and outclass the likes of Porto, who have hauled in cabinets full of silverware in recent seasons. One of the main areas they are looking to strengthen
is the attacking line-up, which has let them down on several occasions last season.
The Lions are on the hunt for an out and out goalscorer with a big frame, so that he can become the main focus of the attack and lead the line. Bas Dost is looked upon as the perfect candidate as he meets the criteria. Being a proven goalscorer, he will
not come cheap for the Lisbon-based club, as Heerenveen are determined to hold onto their player.
But the Portuguese Club has a transfer pot in the region of €30 million and they will use their financial muscle in order to prise their target from the Dutch Outfit. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bas-Dost-c7339 will have to really have to justify his price tag, as he looks set to be wearing
the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 colours next season.
