Report: Tottenham & Liverpool 'in talks' over deal to sign £37m Brazilian star
Tottenham and Liverpool have joined Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United in the race to sign Athletico Paranaense attacker Vitor Roque in the summer transfer window, according to Globo Esporte.
Roque is attracting interest from several clubs following his impressive performances for Paranaense this season. He is regarded as one of the best talents in Brazil and could leave to join a club in Europe at the end of the season.
The online news portal claims Roque’s representatives were in London recently to hold talks with interested parties and they met with agents from Tottenham and Liverpool among others.
The 18-year-old has racked up a total of 42 appearances in all competitions, scored 11 goals, and provided three assists in the process for Athletico Paranaense. This season, he has four goals in six appearances across all competitions.
Roque was an influential figure in Brazil’s U-20 squad that won the South American Championship in February. His outstanding displays saw him earn a call-up to the senior national team.
