Sevilla forward Diego Capel will join Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon, with the Spanish club eyeing a move for Mexico international Giovani Dos Santos.
Sevilla coach Marcelino Garcia Toral says ''Capel was an important football player for Sevilla but a deal has been reached.''
Capel burst into the first-team during the 2007-08 season but the Spain under-21 forward fell behind starting wingers Jesus Navas and Diego Perotti last season.
Marcelino said the club was evaluating a move for Dos Santos, with Valencia and Udinese reportedly also interested in signing the Tottenham forward.
