Tottenham are weighing up a move for 20-year-old goalkeeper Otavio from Cruzeiro ahead of the January transfer window.
According to TeamTalk, the London club is closely monitoring the progress of the Brazilian shot-stopper, who has cemented his place in the starting lineup this season.
Spurs keeping tabs on Otavio
Otavio has established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for Cruzeiro, featuring in 34 matches across all competitions. His impressive performances have caught the eye of several clubs looking to bolster their goalkeeping ranks.
Reports suggest that Roberto De Zerbi is considering bringing the young Brazilian to Tottenham. However, at this stage, it is merely interest and observation, rather than an agreed transfer.
Nottingham Forest already made an £11 million bid
Earlier interest in Otavio was shown by Nottingham Forest, who reportedly made an £11 million offer. However, that bid was deemed insufficient by Cruzeiro.
The goalkeeper recently signed a new contract with the Brazilian side, which includes a buy-out clause of £86 million for foreign clubs.
Despite this significant clause, TeamTalk indicates that an offer in the range of £21-25 million could prove enough to initiate discussions over a potential transfer.
January transfer on the horizon
Tottenham continue to assess options to strengthen their squad ahead of the winter transfer window. Otavio's youth and experience as a starting goalkeeper make him a viable candidate for long-term planning.
The situation is expected to become clearer as the January window approaches.
