Stoke City and Sheffield Wednesday are once again being linked with Casa Pia winger Jérémy Livolant, who is enjoying a standout run of form in Portugal.

According to A Bola, the Frenchman has been directly involved in five goals in the last four Liga Portugal matches – scoring three and assisting two – making him one of the key figures in João Pereira’s side.

Livolant, 27, found the net in each of Casa Pia’s last three games and was crucial in securing draws against Estoril and Famalicão. He also assisted the opening goal in the 2-2 draw with Estoril, before scoring a fine goal himself just before half-time.

The story highlights that Livolant has become indispensable for both the coach and the club’s management. He has featured in every official match this season, being substituted only once, in the 75th minute against FC Porto.

A Bola adds that Casa Pia have already turned down approaches for the player earlier this year, insisting he is not for sale.

Stoke City and Sheffield Wednesday are among the clubs who have tracked the winger since before his move to Portugal, while Italian side Catanzaro and Brazil’s Vasco da Gama are also mentioned as admirers. 

Livolant, a former France U20 international, made his name in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 with Guingamp, where he scored 20 goals in over 100 games, and Bordeaux.

For now, though, Casa Pia see him as untouchable and central to their project.
