Tottenham Hotspur remain determined to sign the Santos left back Souza.
According to Eduardo Burgos, they have submitted a second offer for the player worth around €15 million. The offer is now ‘being analysed’, and it will be interesting to see if Santosh is willing to sanction his departure.
Spurs keen on Souza move
Tottenham want to add more quality and depth in the full-back areas, and the Brazilian would be a long-term acquisition. The 19-year-old is highly rated in South America, and he has a bright future. He could develop into an important player for Tottenham with the right guidance. They are looking to build a formidable team for the future, and it is no surprise that they want to sign elite Young talent.
Souza is currently awaiting the next steps, and it remains to be seen whether he can complete the move to Tottenham this month. It would be a huge opportunity for him and a major step up in his career. He would get to test himself in English football, and regular opportunities in the Premier League could accelerate development. He can operate as a left back as well as a wing back. He could help out at both ends of the pitch.
Souza would be a superb option
Tottenham need more competition for Destiny Udogie, and signing the Brazilian would be ideal for them. The competition for places will help both players improve.
According to Burgos, Santos wants a fixed amount of €15 million for the player, along with variables and a percentage of future sale. It will be interesting to see if the Tottenham offer is deemed acceptable for them.
Tottenham have the finances to get the deal across the line, and they should look to wrap up the move quickly.
