Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on signing John Victor from Botafogo.
The 28-year-old Brazilian is on the radar of Manchester United as well and a report from CaughtOffside claims that both clubs will hold talks with the Brazilian club regarding a move for Victor soon.
The player is likely to cost around €10 million and Tottenham certainly have the finances to get the deal across the line. The Brazilian goalkeeper has done quite well for Botafogo and he could be the ideal backup option to Guglielmo Vicario.
Fraser Forster will need to be replaced soon and the Brazilian could be a quality alternative. The 28-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he could be tempted to move to the Premier League. Clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham will be able to provide him with the platform to push for trophies and compete at a high level. The player is at the peak of his career and he might feel that this is the right time for him to try out a new challenge.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to come forward with an offer to sign the player when the transfer window opens next month.
Spurs have had a mediocre season so far and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly and put together a consistent front of results in the coming weeks. They need to sign quality players to bounce back strongly. They will be desperate to secure Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and it remains to be seen whether they can finish in the top four.
Meanwhile, Manchester United need goalkeeping depth as well, and Victor could compete with the error-prone Andre Onana for the starting spot. Both clubs will be exciting destinations for him, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
