Australia’s Socceroos forward Nestory Irankunda has confirmed his move to Sporting Lisbon in a Michael Jackson-themed promotional video posted on social media. Sporting released the clip late Saturday (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 and finally appears in Sporting’s green-and-white home kit. The 20-year-old, an Adelaide United product, previously drew headlines at AAMI Park after scoring against Curacao in a friendly and performing a Jackson-style dance after being handed a glove by a photographer. The video also confirms a five-year contract.
