Brazilian midfielder Andre has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months.
The 22-year-old was recently in action for his side Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores final against Boca Juniors. A report from Brazilian publication Lance claims that Tottenham officials were in attendance and they ‘watched’ the 22-year-old in action on Saturday.
Representatives from Liverpool and Arsenal were present as well.
Liverpool tried to sign the player with an offer of around €30 million during the summer transfer window, but Fluminense turned down the proposal back then. However, the report claims that the January exit is ‘practically certain’.
Apparently, the Brazilian club wanted to hold on to the midfielder for the Copa Libertadores final and they are now prepared to cash in on him. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat their Premier League rivals and secure his services in the coming months.
The 22-year-old is a prodigious talent with a bright future ahead of him, and he could develop into a top-class Premier League midfielder. He will add defensive steel and physicality to the Tottenham midfield. The Brazilian midfielder has the technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League as well.
He could be a quality long-term replacement for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has been linked with a move away from the north London club recently.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can agree on a reasonable fee with the Brazilian club for the talented young midfielder. A move to the Premier League would be a major step up in his career and he will be able to showcase his potential potential at the highest level.
