Tottenham had a scout at the Estádio do Dragão on Thursday, according to A BOLA. The club were part of the group that monitored FC Porto’s 3-0 win over Nice, and the visit fits the recent pattern of Spurs keeping a close watch on the Portuguese market.
It also follows earlier reports from Correio da Manhã linking Tottenham with Porto striker Samu – who scored the third goal of the night. He won and converted a penalty, adding another solid performance to a season that already put him on Tottenham’s list.
The 21-year-old remains one of the most monitored forwards in Portugal, and his form continues to draw attention across Europe.
However, midfielder Gabri Veiga was the standout name. He scored twice and delivered the kind of display that attracted scouts from several clubs. His movement, finishing and control were praised in Portugal, where outlets described his performance as decisive and technically clean.
Pepê also impressed. The Brazilian provided the assist for the first goal and created problems on the right side. Alberto Costa and Victor Froholdt received positive reviews as well, reinforcing the idea that Porto’s core continues to generate market interest.
For Tottenham, the presence at the Dragão strengthens the ongoing scouting cycle. The club have intensified checks on Samu in recent months, and Veiga’s current rise adds another profile worth tracking.
Whether this leads to concrete steps remains unknown, but Spurs’ repeated trips to Portugal suggest they do not want to fall behind in the race for emerging talent.
