"Exclusive: Spurs have made a fresh offer to Santos worth in the region of 15m for Brazilian left-back Souza. 19-year-old is keen on the move. Santos yet to answer. Brazilian club want a sell-on as part of any deal. Tottenham looking at Souza transfer to strengthen at left-back Tottenham might not necessarily bring Souza in to become first choice straight away, as the Brazilian youngster clearly looks like one for the future."
"Still, Thomas Frank could also arguably do with another option on the left-hand side of his defence as Djed Spence perhaps hasn't been entirely convincing there this season. Destiny Udogie is another option Spurs can rely on, but he seems to have fallen out of favour, so perhaps Souza would be an upgrade. Despite only being 19 years of age, Souza has already played 38 senior matches for Santos, scoring one goal, while he's also played at the Under-17 World Cup with Brazil."
Tottenham have submitted a bid in the region of 15m for 19-year-old left-back Souza of Santos, with the player reportedly keen on a move. Santos have not yet responded and reportedly want a sell-on clause included in any agreement. Tottenham view Souza as a long-term prospect rather than an immediate guaranteed starter, while the squad assesses left-back options amid inconsistent performances from Djed Spence and limited use of Destiny Udogie. Souza has 38 senior appearances for Santos, one goal, and experience at the Under-17 World Cup for Brazil, fitting Spurs' youth-integration approach.
