Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Monaco defender Vanderson this summer.
The North London outfit recently sanctioned the departure of Emerson Royal to AC Milan and they are looking to bring in a quality alternative. It seems that they have identified the 23-year-old Monaco defender as a replacement for the Brazilian.
Vanderson has done quite well in Ligue 1 and he has the quality to thrive in the Premier League as well. Journalist Bruno Andrade has now revealed that Spurs have already ‘opened talks’ with Monaco for the player and the French outfit are now expecting an offer from them.
The reported offer is expected to be in the region of €40 million. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to shell out that kind of money for the Brazilian defender. They already have Pedro Porro and Djed Spence at their disposal. Signing another fullback for €40 million, especially when they need to improve the other areas of their squad would be quite a surprise.
Tottenham will be hoping to push for trophies next season and they will look to qualify for the Champions League as well. They need to plug the gaps in their squad this summer and they should look to invest in a quality central midfielder and a goalscoring winger as well.
There is no doubt that Vanderson is a quality player with immense potential and he could prove to be a superb addition for Tottenham, but they already have enough depth in that position and the resources are better utilised elsewhere.
