I had never heard of this fella and comes right out of the blue but my Portuguese father in law who is staying with us on holiday for a while just asked me (via my wife cos he doesn't speak English) that we are signing Diego Capel.

I gave him the 'never heard of him' (via my wife) and he proceeded to load up a page on his smartphone (which of course I can't read) and proclaimed (via my wife) that the article says the deal is done and just the routine bits to sort out!!!

Sooo is this the portuguese version of the mirror making non stories to sell clicks or is this happening?

Southampton have agreed a one year loan deal for Sporting Lisbon's Spanish winger Diego Capel.

The 26-year-old has been a target for several English clubs in the past but Sporting are keen to offload as they have financial problems.

Southampton will have a £5m option to buy Capel permanently at the end of his loan deal.

Expecting announcement from Southampton later about loan deal for Sporting Lisbon winger Diego Capel. Told it's 'almost done'
 
If this happens, I wonder if this will be instead of Mane, or as well as.
 
Hopefully him and Mane, Capel is alright but really nothing special from what I have seen. Mane looks much more exciting
 
Was capped by Spain back in 2008 when Spurs bid £12m for him. Doesnt appear to have done a lot since then. Still #trustinron
 
@bigadamsport
Just got the written equivalent of a blank look from #saintsfc with regards a loan for Diego Capel from Sp Lisbon

Thought i'd post it here as well
