Socceroos star Nestory Irankunda and Sporting Lisbon have lent into his love of Michael Jackson in a spectacular video posted to social media announcing his official move to the club.
The Portuguese giants released the video late on Saturday evening (AEST) showing dancers performing to Michael Jackson’s Bad in a parking garage before Irankunda emerges from a car wearing a glittering Jackson glove.
