Tottenham ready to submit bid to sign Vandersonby Jit August 24, 2024

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to submit a formal offer to sign AS Monaco star Vanderson late in this transfer window, as per the French outlet L’Equipe.
After joining the Ligue 1 side from Gremio back in 2022, the 23-year-old has showcased his qualities in the French top-flight over the last few years. As a result, he has attracted the attention of a few big clubs around Europe.
Manchester United previously linked with a move for him but they have now signed Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich. So, it is unlikely that they will make a move for him anymore.
Now, L’Equipe states that Tottenham are interested in Vanderson and are ready to pay £25m to secure his signature before the end of this transfer window.
Monaco have recently signed Jordan Teze but the report says it doesn’t mean Adolf Hutter’s side are ready to let the South American leave. However, if Spurs eventually submit the £25m offer then the Ligue 1 side would accept it and sell him.
Vanderson to Tottenham
After selling Emerson Royal to AC Milan, Ange Postecoglou currently has Pedro Porro as the only right-back option. Although Djed Spence is still at the club, he was sent out on loan last term and it’s uncertain whether he is in the Australian boss’ long-term plan.
Therefore, purchasing a new right-back could be the right decision and Vanderson might be a shrewd addition if they secure his signature. He is quick, strong, good going forward and also efficient in defensive contributions.
It is going to be interesting to see whether the North London club eventually opt to make a concrete approach to sign the South American before next week’s deadline.
Meanwhile, Spurs have already strengthened the squad by signing Archie Gray and Dominic Solanke for a combined £100m fee. Additionally, Lucas Bergvall has also joined the club this summer.
So, it remains to be seen how many new additions Postecoglou’s side eventually make between now and the end of this transfer window.
Tottenham have started the new season with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Leicester City now, they’ll take on Everton at home tomorrow.
MORE TOTTENHAM NEWS
Ashley Phillips has become the latest young player to leave Tottenham Hotspur on loan, with the club confirming that the centre-back has completed a temporary move to Stoke City.
Ashley Phillips did well at Plymouth last season
Phillips arrived at Tottenham from Blackburn Rovers a year ago on the back of a breakthrough year at Ewood Park in 2022-23.
The centre-back is still waiting for his senior Spurs debut but he did turn a lot of heads with his performances on loan at Plymouth Argyle last season.
He played a crucial role in helping the club preserve their Championship status by the skin of their teeth, even being voted the club’s Player of the Year.
Ashley Phillips joins Stoke City on loan
The 19-year-old did not get too many opportunities to impress during pre-season and he was unlikely to get much game time had he stayed at Spurs, with Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies ahead of him in the pecking order.
Phillips has thus been loaned out to Stoke City and the centre-back will be hoping to get regular football under his belt and catch the eyes of the coaches at Hotspur Way.
Spurs Web Opinion
I suspect Ange and his coaches do not see Phillips as someone who has all the attributes they are looking for in a centre-back right now.
Tottenham might even potentially cash in on the teenager next summer if he has a decent season out on loan, unless he develops the kind of attributes Postecoglou needs during this loan spell, of course.
