Report: Antonio Conte wants Napoli to beat Tottenham to 23-year-old

According to Area Napoli, Monaco right-back Vanderson, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham, has now emerged as a target for Napoli.

Emerson Royal is on the way out of Tottenham

With Emerson Royal expected to complete a switch to AC Milan sooner rather than later, some reports over recent days have continued to suggest that Tottenham may enter the market for another right-back to replace the Brazilian (Football Insider).

The 23-year-old wing-back is also reportedly on the radar of Man Utd, who view him as a potential replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Sky Sports).

Napoli enter the race for Vanderson

It turns out that Tottenham may now have even more competition to contend with for Vanderson, who has now emerged as a target for Napoli.

Area Napoli explain that Conte plans to Giovanni Di Lorenzo as a right-sided centre-back in a back three next season and thus wants to sign the Monaco star to play as a right wing-back.

However, the publication adds that the Serie A giants are only expected to make a move for the Brazil international in the final few days of the transfer window.

Spurs Web Opinion

Even if Djed Spence follows Emerson Royal out of the door, I am still not convinced that Tottenham would make a move for another right-back this summer.

Archie Gray is more than capable of serving as Pedro Porro’s understudy during the upcoming season, as least while Spurs prioritise other positions.
