New England Revolution frontman Sean Okoli was delighted that he has been selected to train with Sporting Clube de Portugal this winter.

The 22 - year - old and two other players will practice with the Portuguese setup from November 29 - December 18 but a deal is not imminent as New England Revolution had only signed a partnership agreement with the Americans in October last year.

“Very honored and excited to train with @SportingCP_en ! Looking forward to continuing my development and working with such a great club!” Okoli posted on Twitter.

“Thank you @NERevolution for making this happen. I’m planning on making an impact with this team next year so this is trip is perfect for me. ”

The Nigerian - American made New England Revolution’s 18 - man squad 18 times in the 2015 season and came off the bench 5 times.
