Everton’s pre-season will conclude with a friendly with Portuguese side Sporting at Goodison Park.
The fixture will take place on Saturday, August 5 at 3pm, one week before Goodison hosts the club’s Premier League opener against Fulham. The trip represents the continuation of the good relationship between both clubs - in recent campaigns Everton goalkeeper Joao Virginia enjoyed a spell on loan at the Lisbon side while Ruben Vinagre travelled in the opposite direction.
Vinagre returned to Portugal at the end of this season having struggled to make an impact on Merseyside, his campaign ending early due to injury.
