Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing AS Monaco full-back Vanderson as a replacement for Emerson Royal.
The 22-year-old Brazilian was considered one of Spurs’ options in the event of Royal’s departure after the north London club rejected an offer from Al Nassr for him in January.

According to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Spurs defender, whose contract expires in June 2026, is expected to leave Spurs for AC Milan.
Monaco reportedly also wants more than 40 million euros [£35million] Fee for Vanderson.
However, Spurs are said to be interested in the right-back, who began his career after training at Grêmio.
He moved to Monaco in 2022 for 11 million euros [£9million] with a five-year contract.
In February of this year, Vanderson extended his contract by one year, keeping him with the club until 2028.
He has now played 84 games for the French team, scoring six goals and providing nine assists.
The youngster has experience in the Europa League with Monaco and has played eight times in this competition.
Vanderson also played two games for Brazil, making his debut in a 4-1 win over Guinea in June 2023.

He had previously been linked with top European clubs Manchester United and Barcelona, and the full-back admitted that these reports had given him a “fantastic” feeling.
“It’s great to hear that Barça and United love you,” he said last September, according to Dario AS.
“It’s fantastic to know that your name is being mentioned at the big clubs. We’re starting the season well with Monaco, now I’m just concentrating on that.”
Monaco eventually finished second in Ligue 1, nine points behind champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Meanwhile, Timo Werner has joined on loan from RB Leipzig for another season, while Lucas Bergvall has joined from Djurgarden for £8.5 million.
Spurs released Eric Dier, Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon and Japhet Tanganga this summer.
