Tottenham scout Liverpool and Aston Villa target Pedro Goncalves
90min have reported that Tottenham “hugely” admire Goncalves and want to sign the attacking midfielder from Sporting Lisbon in the summer transfer window.
Spurs’ Premier League rivals Liverpool and Aston Villa are also claimed to be keen on the Portugal international.
90min have reported that Tottenham had scouts watching Goncalves in action for Sporting against Juventus at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening.
Record reported last week that Spurs had sent scouts to watch the 24-year-old in action against Juventus in the UEFA Europa League.
It was the first leg of the quarter-final tie.
Exciting player
In our view, Pedro Goncalves is a very good and exciting player who would make Tottenham, Liverpool or Aston Villa better.
The versatility of the Portuguese star would make Spurs, the Reds or the Villans better and give the club’s respective managers another valuable option in attack.
The 24-year-old has scored 14 goals and given nine assists in 27 Portuguese league matches for Sporting so far this season.
Goncalves also scored three goals in six UEFA Europa League matches and gave one assist in five UEFA Champions League games this campaign.
The Portuguese star can operate in a central attacking midfielder role, in a more defensive position in the middle of the park, or as a left winger.
