Jake Micallef is set to become the second Malta U-19 international to join Portuguese giants Boavista, the Times of Malta can confirm.
In fact, Micallef is set to head to the Portuguese league alongside another Malta U-19 player Sean Gatt, who is on the books of Luxol St Andrews.
Boavista are one of the most successful clubs in Portugal and enjoy a great tradition in nurturing young talent and have put their eyes on securing the services of Micallef this summer.
The 18-year-old has enjoyed a very positive season with San Ġwann in the Challenge League last season where he managed to amass 18 appearances.
His move to Boavista will surely be a huge step in his development as a player and will serve him in good stead to establish himself as one of the most talented youngsters in Maltese football.
Micallef is a regular member of the Malta U-19 side who is currently preparing to compete in the European Championship finals that will be held in Malta next year.
