Tottenham reportedly interested in Man United, Chelsea €35m transfer target
By Manuel Meza
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing a move for AS Monaco's 23-year-old Brazilian defender, Vanderson. The young talent has caught the attention of several top Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea, who are also vying for his signature.
Vanderson has emerged as a prominent target in recent weeks. According to reports, Chelsea is currently leading the race to secure the Brazilian’s services. The London club sees Vanderson as an ideal addition to their squad, given their need for more depth in the full-back positions. His ability to combine defensive duties with creative contributions from the flanks makes him an attractive prospect.
Despite Tottenham's interest, the move for Vanderson could come as a surprise to many. Spurs have a relatively strong right-back contingent, including players like Pedro Porro and Djed Spence. The addition of another full-back might not align with their immediate priorities.

Chelsea and Manchester United, in contrast, are actively seeking reinforcements in their full-back positions. For both clubs, Vanderson represents an opportunity to enhance their squad depth and add a player capable of influencing games with both his defensive acumen and attacking prowess. His performance in Ligue 1 has demonstrated that he has the potential to thrive in the Premier League.
There have been countless successful transfers from France that have shone in top-flight football, and both Manchester United and Chelsea are well aware of this. For Tottenham, although it doesn't seem to be a priority, rumours are always circulating. It’s best to wait until the market opens to be sure of any potential developments.
With the transfer windows in the Premier League and Ligue 1 now closed, any move for Vanderson would have to wait until the January window. This timing could give Tottenham more space to assess their priorities and decide whether to make an official offer. The expected fee for Vanderson is between €35-40 million.
