Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign the Brazilian attacker, Lucas Ronier.
The 21-year-old has done well for Brazilian outfit Coritiba, and he could prove to be a useful addition to the Tottenham attack. They need someone who can drive the team forward and create opportunities from the wide areas.
According to reports via CaughtOffside, Fulham are also keen on the youngster.
Spurs could use Lucas Ronier
The technically gifted attacker will add pace, flair, and agility in the final third. He has shown his quality with Coritiba, and the opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for him. It would be a huge step up, and it will help him improve further. Regular football in England could accelerate his development.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham follows up on their interest with an official proposal. They have been scouting the player extensively, and he would be a long-term acquisition for them.
Ronier told to tone down his ego
Athletico-PR coach Odair Hellmann has labelled the player as someone with “a lot of potential”, but he has also warned that the 21-year-old needs to “tone down his ego” in order to fulfil his potential. He is a young player, and he will mature with time. Tottenham could groom him into a future star.
They have the financial resources to convince his club, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. If they can sign him for a reasonable fee, the deal could prove to be a masterstroke.
It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and they are fighting for survival. They will not want to be in this position next season, and they need quality players in order to bounce back. Apart from a reliable winger, they should look to invest in a quality striker as well, who can find the back of the net regularly.
