Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign the Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque.
The 19-year-old is doing well for the Brazilian outfit, and Spurs have tried to sign him in the past. It will be interesting to see if they can finally get the deal across the line this time around.
Tottenham have tried to sign Vitor Roque in the past
According to a report from GOAL, they tried to sign the player in 2024 before they decided to move for Dominic Solanke.
They have now reignited their interest in the player, and they will face competition from Chelsea. Both London clubs are considering a move for the striker in the upcoming transfer window.
The Brazilian has previously had an underwhelming spell with Barcelona and Real Betis. He will look to prove himself in European football, and the opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for him.
The two London clubs have made informal contacts with the player’s representatives regarding a potential move. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. Palmeiras do not want to lose a key player like him, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Roque would improve Spurs
Meanwhile, the striker has 17 goals to his name this season, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for Spurs. They need more cutting edge in the final third, and the 19-year-old could compete with Solanke for the starting spot. The English striker has not been able to score goals consistently, and Tottenham need more support in that area of the pitch. Signing another striker would be a wise decision in January.
The player wants to continue at Palmeiras and play regularly so that he can secure his place in the Brazilian national team for the upcoming World Cup. Moving to the Premier League might not be the best decision for him right now. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince the player to join.
