Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho expects Premier League move
Arsenal and Manchester United target William Carvalho is sure he will move to the Premier League or La Liga "sooner or later".
Carvalho, 22, has attracted interest from a number of clubs across Europe in recent years and was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal over the summer but eventually remained with Sporting Lisbon.
The Portugal midfielder has confirmed there have been offers for his services but none big enough to trigger the release clause in his contract. He fully expects, however, that he will eventually move to England or Spain.
"I would not say I was disappointed [to stay], but despite being very happy at Sporting, we all have ambitions and I hope one day to be playing in the best leagues in the world, the English or Spanish," Carvalho told the official magazine of the Portuguese Football Federation.
"It did not happen this year, but if I continue to do my job as I have been doing for sure that sooner or later it will happen.
"I understand the proposals, but I think that there was no value for the clause and therefore they have been refused."
