Sporting eyes 18-year-old prospect from Eastern Europe

Zhasulan Amir, an 18‑year‑old winger from Ordabasy of Kazakhstan, was recently linked to Sporting, becoming the latest Eastern European youngster to attract interest from the Alvalade club. Intensive monitoring includes the preparation of a detailed report by the club’s scouts, as disclosed on 10 November 2026.

Zhasulan Amir is the most recent player to be linked to Sporting. The Kazakh press states that the Alvalade emblem is closely monitoring the 19‑year‑old winger, considered one of Eastern Europe’s stand‑outs. The winger can play on both flanks and was promoted to Ordabasy’s first team in 2025.

That season, he played 33 matches, scored 11 goals and provided six assists, in addition to having earned five senior caps without scoring. His market value is estimated at €500,000, according to Transfermarkt. If he reaches Alvalade, he should join one of the reserve squads before fighting for a place in Paulo Fonseca’s first team.

On 10 November 2026, the @TalkingSporting account announced that Sporting is monitoring Kazakh midfielder Zhasulan Amir and that its scouts are preparing a detailed report on the 18‑year‑old talent. The content was originally published on Bola na Rede.
