Dean Jones has revealed in his column on Sports Lens that Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for Lille youngster Tiago Santos in the summer.
Santos arrived at Lille from Portuguese side Estoril last summer and has quickly established a reputation as one of the best young full-backs in Ligue 1.
The right-back, who has also been occasionally used further forward, is already thought to be turning heads, with multiple Premier League clubs now said to be following him.
Tottenham are keeping an eye on Tiago Santos
Jones has revealed that Tottenham have been looking at Santos while also scouting other players from Lille.
The journalist explains that the Lilywhites are expected to be in the market for a versatile full-back next summer, although their interest in the 21-year-old is just described as ‘a watching brief’ for the moment.
Jones adds that Santos is also on the radars of both West Ham United and Aston Villa, with the Hammers thought to have been impressed by the youngster’s skill set and the Villans said to be considering him as a potential alternative to the injury-prone Matty Cash.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham look quite likely to strengthen in the full-back positions during the summer transfer window and out of Emerson and Davies, the former looks more likely to be sacrificed as the Welshman is more versatile.
Santos is quickly emerging as one of the best young right-backs in Europe and Postecoglou might view the youngster as someone who can challenge Pedro Porro.
