Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are far apart in the Premier League table, but they are looking at a few similar players to sign this summer.
Ange Postecoglou’s side’s domestic season has been a disaster, and the fate of their whole campaign rests on the Europa League final against Manchester United.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have been crowned the Premier League champions, and they have been better than every other side in the country this term.
Now, the Reds’ focus is on the summer transfer window, and a new right-back is on their radar – just like Tottenham.
Tottenham are leading the race to sign Vanderson
Tottenham need reinforcements in multiple areas of their pitch this summer.
There are several players in Postecoglou’s squad who have severely underperformed this season, while even those who have done well could do with more competition to get better.
Tottenham have Pedro Porro and Djed Spence in their squad at right-back, and both players have shown their quality this season.
But, GiveMeSport claim that Spurs are looking for another player in that position, and they are now leading the race to sign Vanderson from Monaco.
Tottenham were heavily linked with a move to sign Vanderson in last summer’s transfer window, but a move did not materialise then.
The report now claims that a £30 million bid should be enough for the North Londoners to sign the ‘exceptional‘ Brazilian full-back, but they could face competition from clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona.
One club that won’t challenge Spurs for Vanderson’s signature, however, is Liverpool.
What do Liverpool think about Vanderson?
Liverpool are on the market for a new right-back this summer.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will leave the Reds for Real Madrid, and Slot needs to find a replacement before the start of next season.
The report claims that Liverpool discussed the possibility of signing Vanderson from Monaco, but in the end, they decided that they didn’t want him.
The champions have instead chosen to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, and talks are underway to get that deal over the line.
That makes Tottenham’s pursuit of Vanderson slightly easier now.
