Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly considering the possibility of Emerson Royal leaving the club this summer, with AC Milan showing interest in the player. In preparation for this potential departure, Spurs have identified Vanderson from AS Monaco as a potential replacement.
The 22-year-old Vanderson joined Monaco from Grêmio in January 2022 and has shown promise under manager Philippe Clement. Despite a somewhat challenging season at Monaco, Vanderson has attracted interest from Tottenham due to his potential as a right-back. However, any deal for the player may prove difficult as Monaco is reportedly demanding more than €40m for him, and his contract runs until 2028. With Monaco set to participate in the UEFA Champions League, they will be keen on keeping hold of key players like Vanderson.
While Vanderson’s club season wasn’t his best due to injuries and setbacks, he has represented Brazil at the international level. Despite these challenges, the young player has shown potential that has caught the eye of clubs like Tottenham. The prospect of Vanderson joining Spurs as a replacement for Emerson Royal is feasible, but negotiations may face hurdles due to Monaco’s high asking price for the talented right-back.
