Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder Ederson from Atalanta.
The 25-year-old has been a key player for the Italian club and Tottenham have been linked with a January move for the player. It will be interesting to see if they decide to follow up on their interest with an official proposal. They sent scouts to watch the player action recently.
According to Give Me Sport, Atalanta are not prepared to sell the key player midway through the season and therefore Tottenham might have to wait until the summer transfer window to get the deal done. They could certainly use another midfield controller, who will help them control the tempo of the game and add physicality and defensive cover to the side.
The Brazilian midfielder has proven his quality with Atalanta in Italian football and European competitions. There is no doubt that he has the physicality and technical attributes to succeed in English football as well.
The player is at the peak of his powers and he could make an instant impact at Tottenham if they can get the deal done. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds over the next few months. Tottenham will be hoping to qualify for the Champions League regularly and fight for trophies. They need quality players at their disposal and the 25-year-old will certainly improve them in the middle of the park.
The Brazilian could be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League as well. He has shown his quality in Italy and he might be keen on taking up a new challenge now. Tottenham have an exciting squad and a charismatic manager. They could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies in the coming seasons.
