Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for a new full-back, especially if Emerson Royal leaves the club this summer. But, so are Manchester United, and the two clubs have the same player on their list of targets.
A lot depends on the players that depart both clubs this summer, with Spurs potentially moving on both (or one of) Emerson Royal and Djed Spence.
Meanwhile, United look set to sell Aaron Wan-Bissaka, with West Ham very interested in signing the full-back (TBR Football).
If those departures do come to fruition, it looks like Spurs and the Red Devils will fight it out over Brazilian right-back, Vanderson.
That’s according to a report from Sky Sports, which suggests United have Vanderson on their radar as a replacement, while Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is also being considered.
Apparently, Erik ten Hag’s side are “ready to act” if Wan-Bissaka does move on soon.
Tottenham have been linked with Vanderson all summer, with Brazilian outlet UOL claiming an approach had already been made by the Lilywhites.
According to Football.London’s Alasdair Gold, Monaco will want £40m for Vanderson. This is backed up by Ben Jacobs speaking to The Last Word on Spurs, who claimed Vanderson would become a ‘concrete option’ if Royal were to leave this summer.
It remains to be seen whether those sales will happen for either club, but either way, it appears Vanderson is a seriously wanted man and could have the chance to play in the Premier League this season.
Spurs Web Opinion
I really like Vanderson and he would definitely be high up my list if we do need a new full-back this season. That said, I’m still holding out hope for a Djed Spence comeback story, which would save us a good £40m.
