On Monday, AC Milan confirmed that they have completed the signing of Emerson Royal from Tottenham Hotspur. The right-back’s exit has seen the Premier League side look for his successor in the market.

On Tuesday, Brazilian journalist Bruno Andrade reported Spurs have set their sights on AS Monaco’s Vanderson, and have started talks to sign him this summer. He also stated the Ligue 1 side are expecting to receive a bid of around €40m from Tottenham.

Andrade has relayed this and provides more on Tottenham’s efforts to try and sign the 23-year-old, in a report for UOL.

The Brazilian is one of the main targets for Ange Postecoglou’s side in this window. After holding talks, it’s claimed Spurs are ‘preparing a bid’ to secure his services.

There’s no mention of the fee the north London club are willing to offer, while Monaco are hoping to collect €40m for the fullback.

UOL state that those close to Vanderson believe a ‘breakthrough is possible’, meaning the South American’s entourage seems to be optimistic of Tottenham acquiring his signature.

With all parties in favour of a transfer, there’s a good chance Spurs can bring Vanderson to England. However, as we pointed out on Tuesday, it’s not immediately clear why Tottenham would need the player.
