Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos at the end of the season, and they have already initiated contact.
According to a report from Sport Bild, the London club have already been in touch with the director of the German club, and it will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an initial offer to sign the player in the coming weeks.
The report claims that Johan Lange has held talks with Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krösche about the Brazilian. The player is likely to cost around €60 million, and it seems unlikely that Spurs will pay that kind of money for a goalkeeper.
They will need to strengthen multiple areas of their score during the summer transfer window, and spending a premium on a goalkeeper could disrupt their transfer plans.
Kaua Santos will cost a premium
The 22-year-old has a contract with the German club until 2030, and they are under no pressure to sell him anytime soon. He is likely to cost a premium, and Tottenham should look at other options in the summer. There is no doubt that they need another quality goalkeeper who can challenge Guglielmo Vicario for the starting spot.
The Italian can be inconsistent, and the competition for places will help the team improve.
It is no surprise that Tottenham are keen on the goalkeeper. He was outstanding against them in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals. He produced five important saves and dealt well with the high balls as well.
The South American has the quality to succeed in English football as well. He could prove to be a quality long-term investment for Tottenham. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite exciting for the young goalkeeper as well.
