Fabrizio Romano says Tottenham have 'agreed personal terms' with transfer target

Tottenham are said to have struck an agreement with a player ahead of a possible transfer. Spurs are in a tricky position currently, now in 14th place after falling to a last-minute winner against AFC Bournemouth on Wednesday night.

Thomas Frank is now under serious pressure, with Spurs on course for another hugely disappointing Premier League campaign. Whether Frank will keep his job still looks to be up for debate, and the Dane seems to be struggling to win over supporters.

Transfers are going to be pivotal this month, and things are not going well so far. Spurs decided to sell Brennan Johnson for a discounted £35million fee, and already down an attacker, Mohammed Kudus has now been ruled out for at least two months, while Dejan Kulusevski doesn’t look close to returning.

Spurs are expected to sign an attacker, but it’s unclear whether they will consider signing a second attacker in the wake of the Kudus news. In the meantime, it seems Tottenham are pushing for a deal to sign a Santos full-back.

The 19-year-old has already made 24 league appearances at senior level, and he is tied down to a contract until 2028. A deal with Santos is yet to be struck, but according to Fabrizio Romano, player talks have gone well.

Romano posted on X: “Tottenham have agreed personal terms with Brazilian left back Souza ahead of potential move. Negotiations underway with Santos as new bid is anticipated soon with details still missing. “

Souza is a former Brazil under-17s international and he will be pushing to get into more advanced age groups over the coming years. The signing would be one for the future for Spurs, and it follows a trend of Premier League clubs shopping for young talent in South America. Chelsea have focused heavily on South America, and they are already enjoying success on that front.
