In the next transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur is rumored to be interested in another Brazilian center-forward.
Evanilson, a striker for Porto, is on Spurs’ summer transfer shortlist. GiveMeSport, which asserts that the Lilywhites are preparing to perhaps bring the attacker to the Premier League, makes this assertion.
According to their sources, Evanilson’s performances have been attentively observed by the North London outfit, who have been impressed by his clinical finishing and overall play.
Tottenham is not the only English team after the 24-year-old, though; Newcastle United has also been keeping an eye on the player.
The €8.8 million transfer from Fluminense’s development system saw the player sign a five-year contract with Porto in the summer of 2020.
Evanilson has been slowly increasing his goal total since his debut, and he is presently having his greatest goal-scoring season to date.
The Brazilian international has made 41 appearances this season across all competitions, scoring 24 goals and dishing out 6 assists.
Not only does he perform well in local leagues, but he also had an impact in the Champions League, making seven games and contributing four goals and an assist.
Evanilson has made 152 appearances for the Portuguese team, contributing 20 assists and scoring 59 goals, demonstrating his ability to create opportunities and score goals on a regular basis.
Despite wanting to keep the striker at Estadio do Dragoa, Porto has put a price tag of over £60 million on him given his current hot form.
If Spurs opt to trade the former Everton player, Evanilson might replace his countryman Richarlison as the leader of the front line under Ange Postecoglou.
Richarlison has been connected to a move away from Spurs, and if they get a good offer, they may sell him.
Daniel Levy would have to move quickly since Newcastle is interested in Evanilson, who might end up replacing Harry Kane.
