Leicester City midfielder Adrien Silva has been linked with a move to his former side Sporting Clube de Portugal, with the Primeira Liga side hoping to complete a deal in January.
The Portuguese international has made just two appearances in the Premier League this season for the Foxes, with manager Claude Puel preferring the robust pairing of Wilfred Ndidi and Nampalys Mendy in the heart of his midfield.
Frustrated by a lack of game time at the King Power Stadium, Silva could force a move away from Leicester as he looks to get back into contention for Portugal's UEFA Nations League semi-final against Switzerland next summer.
