Spurs are said to be one of three Premier League clubs interested in signing former Manchester United star Andreas Pereira
Pereira has just finished his second season with Fulham in the Premier League and has established himself as a key player under Marco Silva, playing 37 of 38 games
And Globe Esporte claim the Brazil international is attracting interest from Spurs, Newcastle and Aston
Villa, the new team qualified to participate in the Champions League
Fulham are said to have rejected offers from Atletico Madrid and Al Ettifaq for Pereira in recent seasons
However, it is now “unlikely” for him to stay at Craven Cottage, as both parties feel it may be time to move on
agent Kia Joorabchian was in charge of the discussion, with Pereira focusing on the upcoming Copa America tournament with Brazil
It looks like a strong campaign for the 28-year-old could see other clubs come for him
He has ambitions of playing in the Champions League, which could put Villa in pole position
Pereira joined United as a youth player in 2011 and made 75 appearances before leaving in 2022
He did not speak to Erik ten Hag before leaving, they did not see him much year before he left PSV for United
“That was when I came back to England, to Fulham,” he said on the FIVE podcast
“Erik ten Hag, he worked at PSV when I was 16 years old
Before I went to United, the president [of PSV] and Erik ten Hag came to talk to me and my dad and said: “Look, everyone something that has been prepared for you at PSV, if you stay here you will play in the first team
‘ “That’s why I didn’t want to talk to Erik because I know him and I know back then there were always conversations like ‘Andreas, stay here’
You’re not going to play every game, maybe every three games you’ll be in the team
‘ That’s not what I want, I want to play
