According Givemesport, Tottenham Hotspur are considering signing Porto striker Evanilson this summer.
The north London giants made a promising start to the 2023/24 season under manager Ange Postecoglou, but their performances dipped towards the end of the campaign. Tottenham ended up losing Champions League.
The club will want to reinforce its first line for next season and Givemesport report that they are weighing a move for Evanilson, who has recorded 24 goals and provided 6 assists for Porto during their current campaign.
Porto are interested in keeping hold of their Brazilian star and could cost £60m to take him this summer.
First class forward
Spurs parted ways with Harry Kane at the start of the 2023/24 season. However, they chose not to acquire a replacement and relied on Richarlison and Son Heung-min for the center forward position.
Neither of them managed to stand out. Son managed just 17 goals in the campaign, while Richarlison could only score 12. The latter has been disappointing with just 12 league goals in 55 appearances for Spurs.
Tottenham needs an improvement regarding Richarlison for next season. His compatriot Evanilson could be a solution. He has been brilliant this season with 30 goals in just 41 games for Porto in all competitions.
The 24-year-old also stood out for his high pressure and work rate. He likes to drop into deeper attacking positions when necessary and he has the ability to provide key passes to initiate counterattacks for his club.
He can't be compared to Kane, who was exceptional for Spurs, but the Brazilian has the attributes that Spurs have missed over the past year. He would be a good player to lead the club's attack next season.
The most likely thing is that Tottenham want to negotiate the final transfer fee. They could propose paying a smaller sum upfront for the shooter and the rest being covered by performance-based add-ons.
