However, Spurs are still being linked with new targets regardless of who\u2019s in charge of them next season. The latest update regards a right-back they are supposedly in pole position for.<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0Give Me Sport<\/a>, Spurs are \u2018leading the race\u2019 to bring Monaco\u2019s Vanderson<\/a> to the Premier League.<\/p>\n A deal is there to be done at \u00a330m and Spurs are showing the strongest interest out of all their rivals, the report claims.<\/p>\n Vanderson had also been mentioned as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> at Liverpool, but their focus has shifted firmly to Bayer Leverkusen\u2019s Jeremie Frimpong.<\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t mean that Spurs will have a free run at Vanderson, though. Barcelona have joined the race for the Brazil international, according to the report, and there could be competition from closer to home for Spurs.<\/p>\n Indeed, Manchester United are weighing up a move for the 23-year-old, whose representatives are also tempted to reach out to Manchester City.<\/p>\n Of all these clubs, though, Spurs are currently at the front of the queue. They would just need to convince Monaco to sell a player who\u2019s still under contract until 2028.<\/p>\n What about Pedro Porro and Djed Spence?<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, Spurs already have a clear starter at right-back in the shape of Pedro Porro, who has been backed up by Djed Spence this season.<\/p>\n Porro has ranked in the 99th percentile of Premier League full-backs for crosses into the penalty area per 90 minutes this season, as well as the 97th for shot-creating actions and the 92nd for blocks.<\/p>\n The Spaniard\u2019s contract is still valid until 2028, so he might be wondering about his place in Spurs\u2019 plans if they\u2019re looking to bring in another right-back.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0Give Me Sport, though, any addition of Vanderson would be to provide competition for Porro, rather than replace him.<\/p>\n That may lead to questions about the future of Spence, although he has shown his worth at left-back more often this season.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no mention in the latest update of what the consequences would be for the former Middlesbrough man, whose contract is also due to last until 2028.<\/p>\n Nor does Archie Gray get a mention, but he is a midfielder by trade and has covered at centre-back more often than right-back since his move from Leeds United.<\/p>\n Latest Tottenham transfer news<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\u00a0Tottenham seriously considering 36y\/o Italian manager as Postecoglou successor \u2013 sources<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\u00a0Tottenham \u2018ready\u2019 to \u2018launch\u2019 offer for attacking spark who ripped them to pieces<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
