Ricardo Pereira was one of the players most linked with Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer window. A fullback able to perform on either side, Pereira was an obvious target for Spurs when it became apparent Kyle Walker would be leaving the club.
With a reasonable priced release clause, although there’s been a little agreement about the actual amount, Tottenham were said to have made a €15m offer for the player who had been on loan in France for 2 seasons.

home with Benfica on Friday evening. Pereira played and did reasonably well.
Another possible target for Tottenham, again a fullback, is Alex Telles, also 24 years of age, who is more a left side specialist.
