Tottenham open talks to sign 6ft 5inch Brazilian player who’s available for just £8.2m

Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways, but they still need some help in the January transfer window.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have had a mixed season so far. Spurs have shown they are capable of blowing teams away, but they have suffered a few frustrating defeats as well.

The 5-0 victory over Southampton was great for Tottenham fans, but it was just their second win in their last nine games. That’s a terrible record.

Tottenham are expected to be active in the January transfer window, and they have now been linked with a move to sign a highly-rated Brazilian.

Tottenham expected to open talks to sign John Victor of Botafogo

Tottenham could do with reinforcements in multiple areas of their pitch.

Injuries have really affected their defence and wide areas, while their midfield is in need of consistent performers as well.

Tottenham are likely to address at least one of the above positions if not all of them, but if a report is to be believed, they are eyeing a move to sign a new goalkeeper as well.

Guglielmo Vicario has been out injured since after the Manchester City game. Fraser Forster has done a great job in goal, but he’s 36 and out of contract in the summer. That’s probably why Spurs are in the market for a new goalkeeper.

CaughtOffside claim that Tottenham are expected to open talks to sign Botafogo’s John Victor, who has been attracting interest from big clubs recently.

The report claims that Manchester United are also eyeing a move to sign the 6ft 5in tall Brazilian, as are Turkish giants Galatasaray.

It has further been revealed that Victor will be available for as little as €9-10 million (£7.4-8.2m) in the January transfer window, which is very affordable for Spurs.
