Brazilian defender Wesley Franca has been linked with a move away from AS Roma, and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on him.
The 22-year-old right back has done well in Italy, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for teams.
Wesley has proven himself a reliable option at right back for Roma. He has been impressive defensively, and he has contributed in the attack as well. He has scored five goals in all competitions for the Italian outfit. He has been a key player for club and country, and there is no doubt he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League as well.
Do Spurs need Wesley Franca?
Tottenham already have quality options at their disposal in that area of the pitch, and it would be quite surprising if they decided to move for the South American.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham is willing to sell Pedro Porro or Djed Spence in the summer. Otherwise, the move for the Brazilian defender does not make sense for them.
Arsenal keen on Wesley
According to Calciomercato, the 22-year-old is also a target for Arsenal. They could certainly use more quality in the right back department, and the Brazilian would be an excellent long-term investment. He could replace Ben White, who is expected to leave the club in the summer.
Meanwhile, Roma will not want to lose an important player like him. They are pushing for Champions League qualification in the upcoming campaign, and they will look to hold on to their best players.
Wesley is still quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. Joining a big club in the Premier League could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential. Wesley has been labelled as an “exceptional” player in the past.
