Chelsea and Tottenham are interested in signing Brazilian striker Vitor Roque.
The 19-year-old has managed to regain his form and confidence since joining Palmeiras, scoring 17 goals in all competitions. Although he struggled during his time at Barcelona, he was able to get his career back on track.
Chelsea and Tottenham keen on Vitor Roque
Goal reports that Chelsea and Tottenham are monitoring his development and are considering making offers in January. It will be interesting to see if the Brazilian national team plans to allow him to leave.
On the other hand, the striker will also need to be persuaded to join the club. He currently enjoys playing soccer in Brazil and plays regularly. A move to the Premier League could be a difficult option for him. Roque may not be guaranteed a starting position at a club like Chelsea, with players like Liam Delap and Joao Pedro above him in the pecking order. He wouldn’t want to sit on the bench of a big club.
You will need to choose your next destination carefully. He needs to join a club where he can compete at a high level and play every week.
Will the Spurs be able to handle the location?
Tottenham, on the other hand, could make an attacking reinforcement and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to offer him regular football ahead of Dominic Solanke. It may not be a wise decision to join the London club if they cannot provide him with the necessary guarantees.
There is no doubt that he is a great talent with a bright future ahead of him and if he can reach his full potential in both teams he will improve both teams going forward. It is affectionately known as “Tiger” and is highly praised in South America. He would be a long-term acquisition for both teams.
