Tottenham Hotspur 90% close in signing Athletico Paranaense forward young and faster than Harry Kane

Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in signing Athletico Paranaense attacker Vitor Roque.

This summer, the player was linked with a move to Barcelona, and it appears that Tottenham is now making a move to sign him.

Tottenham have been in contact with the player’s representation about a summer move, according to Mundo Deportivo through SportWitness.

It is no secret that the Spurs require attacking reinforcements, and Roque might be a good long-term investment.

The 18-year-old is the center forward, although he is also capable of playing as a flank. The Brazilian has 14 goals in all competitions and might be an excellent backup option for Harry Kane.

Last season, the England international had to carry the Tottenham attack entirely on his own, and he needs more help from his colleagues. Signing another reliable goal scorer would help Kane share the load.

The 18-year-old Brazilian is a phenomenal talent with a bright future ahead of him, and he is well regarded in South America and Europe. He has the potential to develop into a top-tier player, and signing him would be a fantastic long-term investment for Spurs.

According to the source, Barcelona are now quite well along in their negotiations to sign the 18-year-old, but Tottenham are trying to throw a spanner in the works and leapfrog the Spanish club in the race.

Barcelona is experiencing financial issues, and it will be intriguing to observe how the scenario develops if Tottenham can give a profitable deal to the Brazilian club.
