Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on the Botafogo goalkeeper John Victor.
The 28-year-old Brazilian is on the radar of Manchester United as well. Both English clubs are looking to add more depth to their goalkeeping unit and they have identified the 28-year-old as a potential target.
According to Fichajes, Tottenham are keen on opening negotiations to sign the Brazilian in January. Manchester United are keeping tabs on his situation as well, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can win the race for his signature.
The North London club have already initiated contact with his club regarding a potential move.
Tottenham need to add more depth to their goalkeeping department. Guglielmo Vicario is sidelined with an injury and Fraser Forster is not a long-term option for them. They need to bring in a quality understudy to the Italian international, and the Brazilian seems like the ideal fit.
The report states that he could be available for a fee of around €9-10 million. It would be a reasonable acquisition for the North London club and they should look to get the deal across the line. The opportunity to join them will be quite attractive for the Brazilian.
Similarly, Manchester United will be an attractive destination for the player as well. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world and they need a quality alternative to Andre Onana. The former Inter Milan goalkeeper can be prone to errors and Manchester United need more competition for places so that they can improve as a squad.
Victor has proven himself with Botafogo and he will certainly fancy his chances of doing well in English football. The player is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit the ground running in English football.
If he manages to adapt to the Premier League quickly, he could prove to be a major bargain for the reported asking price.
