Opinion: Joao Cancelo would be a superb signing for Tottenham Hotspur

According to reports from El Desmarque (h/t Four Four Two), Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing right-back Joao Cancelo who is ‘unhappy’ at Manchester City.

Cancelo only joined City last summer in a £58m move from Serie A champions Juventus, but Pep Guardiola prefers Kyle Walker ahead of him.

The Portuguese international has only featured eight times in the Premier League this season, and he is concerned that his place in Portugal’s Euro 2020 squad may be under threat.

Barcelona are also interested in signing the 25-year-old, but Spurs are the closer of the two sides to ‘agreeing a deal’ which is reported to be of around £52 million.
