Sporting Clube de Portugal have signed Argentinian left-back Leandro Grimi on loan from AC Milan until the end of the season.

'Step forward'
The 22-year-old moves to Lisbon after spending the first half of the season on loan to AC Siena. "This is a great challenge for me because I'll be with a great club from Portugal," Grimi said. "I hope I can play regularly so I can give my best to the team. This is a step forward in my career." Grimi began his career at CA Huracán and also featured briefly for Racing Club de Avellaneda before joining Milan last season. Sporting, who beat runaway Liga leaders FC Porto on Sunday, take on FC Basel 1893 in the UEFA Cup Round of 32 with the first leg to be played in Lisbon on 13 February.
