Tottenham are interested in signing £35m player who once admitted he wanted to sign for Arsenal.Tottenham Hotspur are being linked with a number of new attacking midfield players this summer .James Maddison is a fantastic option in that number 10 role, but, by the sounds of things, Spurs are still looking for a new player in that role.
Interestingly, Spurs have now been linked with another player from within the Premier League.Tottenham have interest in Andreas Pereira
According to Globo in Brazil, Tottenham hold an interest in Fulham’s Andreas Pereira .
The Brazilian has been one of Fulham’s best players over the last two seasons, and having won-back his spot in the Brazil national team, the midfielder is being targeted by some top clubs.
Chelsea and Aston Villa are also credited with an interest in the £35m man in this report.Intriguingly, while Spurs are now keen on Pereira, the player himself almost ended up at Arsenal as a youngster.
Indeed, Andreas Pereira has previously admitted he almost joined Arsenal and he wanted to sign for the Gunners as a youngster.
“It was really special. I was speaking with my dad and my head was on Arsenal, I wanted to go to Arsenal,” Pereira said last year.
“I was a fan and I liked the way they played football. It was at the time that Wilshere was getting his first games and I got a shirt from Wilshere and I loved this shirt.”As good of a signing as this could be for Tottenham, it’s hard to see this one getting over the line.
Indeed, Fulham aren’t in a position to sell Pereira at this point.
The Whites have already lost three key players in the shapes of Joao Palhinha, Willian and Bobby Decordova-Reid this summer, and with no new signings through the door, the squad is threadbare to say the least.
This has to be a summer of additions for Fulham from this point, and selling Pereira is unviable with the squad in its current state.
