Fabrizio Romano confirms Tottenham plan to sign Man Utd target as upgrade for 101-game star Postecoglou doesn’t rate

In fact, Spurs finished first in the early Premier League standings the previous season thanks to an incredible start that saw them win eight and draw two of their first ten games. Postecoglou was credited with the finest start by a new manager in the history of the English premier league.

Sadly, after suffering a crushing home loss to archrival Chelsea at the beginning of November, their bright start was derailed by injuries and suspensions, which served as a reminder that Tottenham’s roster still needed to be strengthened.

Radu Dragusin was the only Premier League team signed permanently by the Lilywhites during the January transfer window. As Postecoglou prepares to make more changes, Tottenham is anticipated to have a high player turnover rate this summer.

And it appears that their summer business will get begun soon after Tottenham signed a record-breaking teenage striker by defeating five Premier League opponents.

Tottenham trades: Emerson Royal makes a close compromise with Milan

But Spurs will also probably buy a more experienced No. 9 this summer, and from what we hear, the aspirational Tottenham manager also wants to add two more players to the defense and another midfielder.

As 2021 signing Emerson Royal approaches the end of the line in north London after 101 appearances in a Spurs uniform, their next big deal may actually be an outgoing.

Despite spending the most of his career playing at right-back, he occasionally saw action as a center-half last season.

However, Postecoglou has stated that the team is open to bids for the 10-time Brazil international this summer, with AC Milan seeming to be the front-runner to sign him.

The 25-year-old was originally wanted by Tottenham for €25 million (£21.3 million), but the Serie A powerhouses first objected to the asking price and offered €15 million (£12.7 million).

However, it’s currently believed that a compromise cost of about €18 million (£15.2 million) is close to being agreed upon after a series of discussions between the clubs; however, Tottenham may demand a 10% sale of any future agreement to make themselves a possible nice little income in the years to come.

Pedro Porro will become Tottenham’s starting right-back following Royal’s departure, but Postecoglou is eager to rectify the situation as he has been connected to two potential successors.

Man Utd target Fabrizio Romano admits Spurs’ intention to recruit him

Consequently, in recent weeks, there has been a strong tip for both Monaco’s Vanderson and Girona’s Manchester City full-back Yan Couto to transfer to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on loan.

Since relocating to the French Riviera from Gremio, Brazil’s Vanderson has drawn notice. Manchester United has taken notice of his play and is considering upgrading from Aaron Wan-Bissaka to the 23-year-old.

While this was going on, Couto contributed ten assists and two goals to Girona, helping Michel’s team qualify for the Champions League by finishing third in La Liga behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The 22-year-old Brazilian seems to have had the upper hand over Vanderson in the national team lately and is scheduled to return to parent club Man City this summer.

Romano, however, claims that Postecoglou intends to pursue Vanderson, with the reliable transfer guru telling Caught Offside that a deal for Couto is doubtful.

Even if nothing has been done yet, Emerson Royal may decide to leave Tottenham given that he has openly shown interest in AC Milan, according to Romano. “As was previously mentioned, they are interested in Vanderson, the right-back for Monaco, in the event that Emerson quits the team.
