Tottenham Hotspur are confident that they will have an offer accepted to sign Santos left-back Souza as Thomas Frank’s first January addition.

Thomas Frank’s squad is in serious need of reinforcements, and the North London club are working on their plans for transfers this month.

Left-back and left wing appear to be the priority positions for this window, and Souza is one of the key targets in defence.

The North London club have now stepped up their plans to sign the Brazilian youngster, with the player making his stance over the move very clear.

Souza tells Santos he wants to join Tottenham

Souza has informed Santos that he wants to join Tottenham and he wants to be left off their squad, according to ESPN Brasil.

Santos are next in action in the Campeonato Paulista against Novorizontino, but are now likely to be without their left-back for the clash.

Tottenham have submitted a new bid worth around £13 million to sign the player as backup for Destiny Udogie.

Udogie is part of Tottenham’s growing list of injuries, and his record suggests that the club need to find an alternative.

The Lilywhites believe that a deal for the 19-year-old will eventually go through and are growing in confidence about signing him.

Souza has made 38 appearances for Santos since stepping up to the first team back in February 2024 and has featured alongside Neymar Jr.

However, the move remains a gamble for Spurs, as they would be signing a player who is still relatively inexperienced and an unknown entity playing in Europe.

Tottenham should target Ademola Lookman after Souza

One player Tottenham should target after Souza is Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman, having shown an interest back in the summer.

Tottenham need to start signing some more experienced quality for Frank’s squad, and the Nigerian winger could be the ideal candidate.

The 28-year-old has been impressing for Nigeria at AFCON, having produced seven goal involvements in three matches.

The Lilywhites need to add more attacking depth this month, following the sale of Brennan Johnson and Mohammed Kudus’ injury.
