Earlier this week, claims from the UK stated Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs to have set their sights on Palmeiras youngster Marcus Vinnicius.
This is relayed by PL Brasil, who then provide their own information on this case.
They has found out that Tottenham are one of the 17-year-old’s ‘interested parties’.
As well as the north London club, the British press said Newcastle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Benfica are said to be monitoring the young left-back.
Vinnicius is currently with Palmeiras U17s and he was part of the squad that recently won the Ecuador Youth Cup. His performances in this tournament seem to have attracted interest from other clubs, including those from Europe.
The report claims Vinnicius is happy at the Brazilian club, where he’s expected to sign his first professional contract in the next few days.
Palmeiras also want to retain Vinnicius and their plan is to only consider selling him to a European club in two to three years. This makes a potential deal complicated for Spurs despite being ahead of other clubs.
