- Personal terms with the 19-year-old Brazilian have been agreed, and he is expected to travel for a medical this weekend, according to Standard Sport and talkSPORT.
- Souza has made roughly 38 senior appearances for Santos, profiling as a high-potential, attack-minded full-back still viewed as a developmental signing.
- Tottenham are targeting left-back reinforcement as Destiny Udogie recovers from a hamstring injury, with right-back Djed Spence having covered on the left and Ben Davies recently returning.
