Young Vietnamese footballer Nguyen Thai Sung has been invited to train with Sporting Lisbon's under-21 team.

Sung, a member of the SHB Da Nang's U19 squad, confirmed the invitation but said his decision would depend on his managers. Sung, who spent three years training at Qatar's Aspire Institution, is recovering from a recent foot operation.

Bui Xuan Hoa, deputy chairman of SHB Da Nang, said the two sides were working together to come to an agreement.-VNS
