Spurs have been connected to players like Eberechi Eze, so they are aiming to expand their attacking midfield options this summer. But according to a recent source, Andreas Periera of Fulham, who had previously expressed his desire to join Arsenal, is a target.
Periera has been one of Fulham’s key players for years
Early in July, The Athletic revealed that Tottenham was considering exercising the release clause in Eberechi Eze’s Crystal Palace contract, which is estimated to be worth roughly £60 million. Despite interest, Manchester City was not anticipated to move at this time.
But according to recent sources, Tottenham is reportedly in the running with Chelsea and Aston Villa for Brazilian midfielder Andreas Pereira.
Andreas Pereria and Manchester United finally parted ways in the summer of 2022 for £10 million, following eleven years and numerous loans (Sky Sports).
Pereira, a Brazilian international, has excelled since moving to West London, amassing eight goals and fifteen assists in just over eighty Fulham appearances. (Markt Transfer)
Periera previously expressed interest in moving to Arsenal
According to Globo, Tottenham is interested in the midfield player. They also know that Chelsea is preparing a £35 million offer for Pereria, who has signed an agreement with manager Marco Silva to depart Fulham this summer.
Pereria is reportedly seen by Chelsea as a potential replacement for Conor Gallagher, who has also drawn interest from Tottenham this summer as well. (Reflector)
A possible transfer to Tottenham, meanwhile, might spark debate given Pereria’s prior remarks against Arsenal, the bitter local rivals.
“I was talking to my dad and my mind was on Arsenal. I wanted to go to Arsenal [as a youth player],” the man said. As a fan, I enjoyed their style of football play. Wilshire was getting his first games at the time, and I bought a shirt from him that I really liked. (Podcast: The American Dream)
Spurs Web opinion
Pereria is a capable midfielder with Premier League experience, but I don’t think he’s talented enough to have a significant influence at Tottenham.
His alleged love for Arsenal would increase the pressure on the midfield player to perform quickly and successfully if he signed. Someone who has already shown their love for Arsenal is sure to face less tolerance from the Spurs supporters.
In addition, the Brazilian is 28 years old, one year older than James Maddison, so it’s an unusual backup position for a player at the pinnacle of his career.
