Tottenham are keen on signing defender Arthur Dias from Atletico Paranaense. The London club aims to bolster their defence in the upcoming January transfer window.
According to reports from Spanish media, the 19-year-old Brazilian has caught the eye of several top European clubs. Notably, Barcelona are considering the left-footed centre-back as a long-term partner for Pau Cubarsi. Newcastle are also keeping a close watch on the young talent's development.
The Spurs have already made their first official offer of €21 million for the transfer, but the Brazilian club turned it down. Atletico Paranaense value their promising prospect at around €30 million.
This means Tottenham will need to improve their financial proposal to get ahead of the competition. Barcelona’s sporting director Deco is also expected to take action in the transfer market as soon as January, which could complicate matters for the English side.
