Wolverhampton Wanderers are plotting a move for the Inter Milan fullback, but Mauricio Pochettino should have him on his radar.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are plotting an audacious £35 million move for Valencia right-back Joao Cancelo this summer, according to Sky Sports expert Gianluca Di Marzio, as Nuno searches for additions to help his side succeed in England’s top flight.
The Portuguese international has emerged as one of the finest attacking fullbacks in Europe this season while on loan with Inter Milan, often being deployed as a wing-back ahead of a back three. And his exceptional displays suggest he could now be ready for the highest level.
Mauricio Pochettino is still searching for a long-term successor to Kyle Walker, although Kieran Trippier has performed capably in his absence.
However, he is said to be unhappy with Serge Aurier’s contribution since joining last summer from Paris Saint-Germain, according to the Sun.
Perhaps he would be well served to join the race for Cancelo then, as he was claimed to be doing last summer by Football London.
. The 24-year-old Portugal international has a lofty potential to reach and the tutelage of Pochettino would boost his chances of unlocking it.
Having scored three goals for his national side from defence, Cancelo has shown his versatility in both attacking and defending, with his blistering pace proving significant in both, and given time he could eclipse Walker’s contribution at Spurs.
