Joao Moutinho included in Porto squad for weekend match

Sought-after Porto midfielder Joao Moutinho has been included in the club's squad for tomorrow's game at Olhanense.

The playmaker is said to be on a flight to the Algarve with the rest of the Porto squad, despite being reportedly on the verge of a £22m move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs had their lofty bid accepted by Porto but reports this afternoon suggested that talks between the two parties had hit a stumbling block over wage demands.

Moutinho, who would be seen as a replacement for Luka Modric, has been capped 48 times by Portugal, scoring twice.
