Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Vanderson from AS Monaco before the summer transfer window closes.
According to journalist Bruno Andrade, they have now ‘carried out a survey’, but the North London outfit are yet to open negotiations with the French outfit.
The defender will cost around £34 million this summer and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to make a move for him. He is versatile enough to operate as a full-back as well as a wing-back.
Tottenham certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done, and the Brazilian could prove to be a useful acquisition. He could operate on both flanks and he will add depth and quality to the side. Emerson Royal is expected to leave the club this summer, and the Brazilian could replace his compatriot.
The opportunity to move to the Premier league will be an exciting one for the 22-year-old and regular football in England could accelerate his development. He will be expected to compete with Pedro Porro for the starting spot. Competition for places will help both players improve.
Tottenham need to add more depth to their defensive unit this summer and they should look to sign a central defender along with a full-back. They will be competing in the UEFA Europa League next season and they need a deeper squad in order to deal with the fixture congestion. It will be interesting to see if the North London outfit follow up on their survey of the player with an official proposal now.
