Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta this summer.
According to a report from ESPN Brasil, the Premier League side have made an approach for the 24-year-old midfielder but the talks have not advanced yet.
The report further claims that the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City are keen on signing the versatile midfielder as well.
The 24-year-old has been a key player for Lyon this past season and he could be a quality long-term acquisition for the London club.
Tottenham need to add creativity and goals in the middle of the park and the Brazilian should be able to add a new dimension to their play-making unit.
The 24-year-old is a versatile midfielder who can operate as the number eight or as an advanced midfielder. He scored 11 goals and picked up seven assists across all competitions last season.
The Brazilian is an impressive dribbler with an eye for the final pass. The likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min could benefit from his service in the final third, next season.
Furthermore, Paqueta is a hard-working midfielder whose pressing and tackling will add some defensive organization to the side.
The report from ESPN Brasil claims that the midfielder is content with his situation at the French club and he is unwilling to force a move away this summer.
It seems that Tottenham and the other Premier League clubs interested in him will have to convince the French outfit to sell the player in order for any move to happen.
The Brazilian has three years left on his current contract with Lyon and it is fair to assume that the French outfit will demand a premium for his services this summer.
Meanwhile, Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks has been linked with a move away from the club and Conte will probably need to bring in a replacement if Winks decides to move on this summer.
Expensive signings like Tanguy Ndombele have not worked out either.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Yves Bissouma are the only reliable midfield options at the London club right now. However, both players are defensive in nature and someone like Paqueta will be needed to add some attacking quality in the middle of the park.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks now.
