Dazzling Debut: Nestory Irankunda Joins Sporting Lisbon in Style
Socceroos player Nestory Irankunda has officially joined Sporting Lisbon, and the club announced the news with a unique video featuring dancers performing to Michael Jackson's Bad. Irankunda emerges from a car wearing a glittering Jackson glove and dances with the group before donning Sporting's green-and-white jersey. The 20-year-old forward signed a five-year deal with Sporting for a reported transfer fee of €16 million ($26 million) plus add-ons. Irankunda's move to Lisbon was well-received, and he will have the opportunity to play in the UEFA Champions League and face top Portuguese clubs like Porto and Benfica. His Socceroos teammate Awer Mabil praised the move and advised Irankunda to stay true to himself despite the increased attention.
