Tottenham Hotspur have had an offer for the Santos defender Souza turned down.
However, they remain keen on securing his signature, and they are continuing talks with a South American outfit regarding a deal for the highly rated left back. The 19-year-old will cost around €20 million, and Tottenham are hoping to convince Santos to accept a reasonable offer for him.
Tottenham have had an offer of €10 million rejected for the player, as per TEAMtalk.
Spurs must move quickly for Souza
Other clubs are monitoring his situation as well. Manchester City and Newcastle United are admirers of the talented young full-back. Spurs should look to move quickly to win the race for his signature. They need more quality and depth in the left back department, and Souza would be a long-term investment.
The €20 million investment might seem expensive right now, but the player has the potential to justify the outlay in future. It seems Tottenham are determined to get the deal done, and they are certainly the most advanced in the race to secure his signature.
Souza could fancy a big move
The defender will undoubtedly hope that the London club can get the deal across the line. It would be an excellent opportunity for him, and he would get to test himself in the Premier League. Tottenham are looking to build for the future, and they need to sign quality young players like Souza. He is an elite prospect, and with proper guidance, he could establish himself as a key player for the club.
Tottenham will be hoping to fight for a major trophy consistently, and they need to improve the team to match elite clubs. They do not have the funds to sign ready-made superstars at every window, and therefore, investing in players with potential is a sustainable way to develop the team.
