Incredible transfer fee considering his scoring record in Denmark.
Yeah, especially if we compare him to Oskarsson who went for similar fee to Sociedad
Harder - 7 goals and 3 assists in 31 league games for Nordsjaelland
Oskarsson - 14 goals and 7 assists in 37 league games for Copenhagen
Pretty clear Sporting paid for his potential and not for what he's done so far in his career though. Can't blame them looking for a potential younger Gyokeres "clone" either after how good he turned out for them. He would probably go to some midtable PL team if he'd have a better track record already at this young age. But Sporting is no doubt the right stepping stone for Harder. He will get time to adapt and learn a trick or two from Gyokeres and then step up in his shoes next season. If he can get even close to Gyo's goalscoring record while being 7 years younger then you can imagine how crazy PL clubs would go after him in two years. Especially if Gyo would do well in PL. Ofc that doesn't mean automatically Harder would succeed there too but lot of people who now doubt players coming out of Primeira would change their minds.
On a side note I think Roque would do great for Sporting too but he clearly wanted to play regularly this season (can't blame him) which wouldn't happen as long as Gyokeres is there.
