Tottenham Close to €15m Deal for Santos Left-Back Souza

Payment terms plus a medical are expected to finalize the move after personal terms were agreed.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report a fee of around €15m (£13m) has been agreed in principle with Santos, with final talks focused on the payment structure.
  • 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.
  • Spurs improved their offer after an initial lower bid was rejected, with Fabrizio Romano widely cited as the primary source on the deal’s progress; completion would likely mark their first January signing.
