Watch: Socceroos star announces new club in epic Michael Jackson-themed video

Australia’s Socceroos forward Nestory Irankunda has confirmed his move to Sporting Lisbon with an over-the-top Michael Jackson-themed video shared on social media. In the clip released late Saturday evening (AEST), dancers perform to “Bad” in a parking garage before Irankunda emerges from a car wearing a glittering Jackson glove, then dances with the group. He later steps into Sporting’s iconic green-and-white home jersey as lights flicker. The 20-year-old Adelaide United product previously staged similar celebration moments, including at AAMI Park earlier this year after scoring in a friendly versus Curacao. The video confirms Irankunda has signed for five years, with reports suggesting his transfer from Watford could cost €16 million ($26 million) plus add-ons up to €18 million ($29.5 million).
