India's star forward Sunil Chhetri has been signed by Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon for the next year.

Chhetri, who will be flying to the Iberian country in two weeks' time, will be drafted into the club's B side initially. Based on his performance, the club will take a call on whether he should be fast-tracked into the main squad.

"I am excited. I want to see where I stand... want to grab it with both hands. I can't let go this opportunity. I will have to do a lot of hard work. I will leave no stone unturned, so that I don't regret later in my life. When I am 40, I don't want to feel that I could have done better," he said.
