I read a dubious translation of the Portuguese and Spanish reports of this earlier today and I got the impression that talks between him and Benfica are ongoing.
They appear to be offering him a starting place and we're not, so I'd still expect him to join them.
We're probably a handy bargaining chip for him to keep his wages up, though.
I'm not really that bothered either way.
Might give us more competition up top and he knows how to play alongside Soldado, but I'd be slightly concerned that he might slow down Kane's progress.
Knowing us we'll end up with all of our strikers injured though, so it's probably a good idea to get someone in.
