World triple jump champion makes the move to Alvalade

Sporting's fans were treated to a a completely unexpected surprise at half-time against Tondela this Saturday, with president Bruno de Carvalho announcing the Portuguese Olympian Nélson Évora's signing for the club.

"I am really happy that Sporting CP believes in me. It is really special for me and I just want to thank everyone for this experience. This is proof that we want to compete for European titles and that is something that I will certainly be aiming to do. You can be sure that I will do my best", said Évora in an interview with the Sporting Journal at the final whistle.
