Tottenham now in race to sign £34m midfielder who Fabio Paratici has already earmarked | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Brazilian midfielder Ederson who is currently playing his football with Atalanta.

Having already raided the Italian top flight for the defender Radu Dragusin in the January window, it seems Spurs are ready to return for another player.

But, as always, it will not be made easy for them to come in and take away one of Atalanta’s exciting talents.

Tottenham eyeing Ederson swoop

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Spurs are alongside Newcastle United and Juventus in their interest in Ederson.

It is believed Spurs already showed their interest in him last month during the January transfer window.

However, any move for the Brazilian was snubbed by the Serie A club and it has already been warned a move in the summer will be equally as difficult.

Any move for the player has been suggested to require a bid in the region of €40m (£34m) to see Atalanta part ways with their 24-year-old.

Postecoglou needing depth

The weekend’s defeat against Wolves was a damaging one to our Champions League hopes with the results elsewhere seeing Aston Villa leapfrog us into fourth.

But European football does look to be on the menu for next season in some form.

Of course, we will all want it to be in the elite competition, however, it does feel like we will have to juggle more games next season regardless.

And given the injury issues we’ve had to endure this season, Ange Postecoglou will surely be looking to bolster his squad in the summer.

Despite having no European football to deal with this season, we were unable to make anything of our FA Cup and Carabao Cup hopes with early exits in both tournaments.

But it seems sights have already been set on potential midfield additions with previous reports suggesting Fabio Paratici has earmarked the Brazilian midfielder.

Which just goes to show that to really give next season a good go, we will need further strength in depth added over the summer.
