English claims that Tottenham Hotspur are seriously interested in Joao Cancelo have quickly made their way to the Spanish media, and it’s clear a red carpet could be laid out for any Spurs transfer delegation.
The regional Valencia media is the most interesting on the subject, and Deporte Valenciano say sending Cancelo to Tottenham is ‘a perfect solution’.
Moving from Valencia to Tottenham is described as something which would be very interesting for Cancelo, who has been eyeing the Spanish club’s exit door.
It’s explained that Tottenham, being a Premier League club, would be attractive financially for the transfer, and competition to other interested parties, like Juventus, can only help.
Selling Cancelo to Tottenham would provide Valencia with the cash boost they need to help their own transfer window, and allow the club to start thinking about bringing more players in.
Deporte Valenciano say Valencia want €25m for the player.
But do Tottenham want Cancelo? The Portuguese right back ticks several usual Tottenham boxes.
He’s 23 years of age but with much experience already accumulated. Cancelo is flexible in his position and the right footer can play anywhere along the righthand side of the pitch. Valencia need to sell, so are under some pressure, which would provide good negotiating foundations for Tottenham.
Now it’s time for Mauricio Pochettino and Daniel Levy to decide, because if this a transfer Tottenham want, it’s very doable.
