Tottenham suffer blow in their pursuit of €25 mullion-rated South American ace

Manchester City full-back Yan Couto is not interested in joining Tottenham this summer.

Yan Couto was on fire for Girona last season and his performances surely didn’t go unnoticed. While he is back at his parent club Manchester City, the Brazilian full-back doesn’t seem to be a part of their plans moving ahead. With City ready to cash in on him, multiple top clubs seem willing to battle for his signature.

Tottenham are one of the clubs that have been linked with the 22-year-old but according to Sport BILD via SportWitness, Couto has rejected the opportunity to join the North London club. He prefers making the move to Borussia Dortmund knowing there is an opportunity to establish himself in their first team as they do not have much depth at right-back.

Couto was one of the standout performers for Girona last season as he helped them secure a top-four finish in La Liga. Following his impressive performances, Spurs seem interested in the 22-year-old who will only get better with time. But, they already have enough quality options at right-back.

Pedro Porro is the preferred right-back option and they have recently added Archie Gray to their squad, someone who can feature in midfield as well as a right-sided full-back. While Djed Spence’s future is uncertain, he still remains a part of their squad.

As a result, Tottenham do not need another right-back. The report suggests they were keen on signing the South American ace who could be available for around €25 million. But, they have suffered a massive blow as he doesn’t want to join the North London club and is hoping that his move to Dortmund goes through.
