Tottenham could submit an offer for the Corinthians winger Wesley Gassova in July.
The Brazilian youth international’s impressive rise at Corinthians has resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe. Napoli, Nottingham Forest and West Ham are all keen on his signature.
According to a report from AreaNapoli.it, Tottenham have also ‘entered the race’ for Wesley’s services and they could ‘present their offer in July’.
He might have been promoted to their first team last summer but the teenager already has over 70 appearances for their senior team and he has even contributed towards 12 goals (7 goals, 5 assists). Wesley’s deal with the Brazilian club might run until the end of 2027 but he could be on the move this summer with multiple top clubs ready to prise him away.
Napoli were keen on signing the 19-year-old winger but they seem to have taken a back seat in their pursuit. Nottingham Forest have tabled an offer worth €25 million and they have been informed that Corinthians will only give away 50% of the player’s right for that fee. West Ham are also in the mix but they haven’t gone beyond €20 million.
Tottenham who have just entered the race are yet to put forward an offer for the teenager’s services. With Bryan Gil’s future uncertain and Ryan Sessegnon’s departure, Spurs don’t have much depth on the left flank and they do need reinforcement.
They feel Wesley could be a great signing for the short as well as the long run. He could provide cover for now and has the potential to eventually be a regular in their team. The North London club are expected to submit an offer for him next month. Irrespective of who ends up winning the race for his signature, the Brazilian outfit will try their best to secure a 10% sell-on clause in his deal.
