According to a report in the Portuguese newspaper O Jogo 0 which cites NumeroDiez – Ugarte’s impressive performances for Sporting have not gone unnoticed as they have made a good run in the Europa League, knocking out Arsenal on penalties in the last 16 earlier this month.
As per the source, there are a number of Premier League sides keen on signing the 21-year-old including Leeds United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Tottenham and Wolves, but two Serie A sides are also keen in Milan and Roma.
