Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Tottenham Hotspur are focused on Ederson however face a battle to signal the Atalanta star this summer time, talking to GiveMeSport.
Spurs have been frequently linked with Ederson for fairly a while now. Able to enjoying wherever in midfield, the 24-year-old has caught the attention with spectacular performances for a group that lately beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield within the Europa League.
In 41 video games for Atalanta throughout all competitions this season, Ederson has scored seven objectives and offered one help. With a contract that expires in 2026, if the participant doesn’t put pen to paper on a brand new deal quickly, Atalanta could also be pressured to cash-in earlier than his worth drops.
Transfermarkt values Ederson at round £26m. That feels extraordinarily low for a participant of the Brazilian’s calibre and there’s no doubt that Atalanta would hope to get extra in the event that they had been to half methods this summer time.
Tottenham eager
The South American’s kind has attracted curiosity from England with Romano confirming that Tottenham are amongst Ederson’s admirers. Nonetheless, they face competitors from rival Premier League golf equipment and Barcelona.
Not solely that, however Romano additionally claims that Atalanta are unlikely to let Ederson depart this summer time, as Tuen Koopmeiners is anticipated to be offered they usually don’t need to lose two stars in midfield in the identical window.
“Ederson goes to be very, very troublesome as a result of Atalanta are already anticipated to promote Teun Koopmeiners within the midfield, and Koopmeiners and Ederson are the 2 starters for Atalanta. So to promote two essential gamers in the identical place, in the identical summer time, I believe it’s impossible. So there may be an appreciation, it’s true, that Tottenham admire the participant, as do many different golf equipment round Europe. For instance, it’s the similar for Barcelona and different golf equipment in England. However in the meanwhile, I believe it’s going to be troublesome to signal the participant from Atalanta.”
Spurs want reinforcements in midfield. It’ll be an enormous shock to see the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso keep on the membership past this season. Ederson is a stylistically totally different profile to the likes of Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur and Ange Postecoglou might deliver one of the best out of him.
Regardless of Romano saying Tottenham face a battle to signal the Brazilian, Atalanta might select to cash-in if the likes of Spurs put a tempting supply on the desk. It’ll be very troublesome for the membership to maintain maintain of Ederson when the participant is receiving a lot curiosity.
Lots of issues have to go in Spurs’ favour for this deal to occur. Proper now, there isn’t any level getting optimistic on this regard however the switch market all the time throws surprises and Ederson can be an excellent signing if Tottenham handle to signal him.
