Tottenham close to securing priority option for future Johnny Cardoso deal.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on the Portuguese international Pedro Goncalves.

A report from 90 Min claims that Tottenham sent scouts to watch the 25-year-old midfielder in action during the Lisbon Derby at the weekend.

Goncalves has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past as well and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to make a move for him in the coming months. Apparently, the Tottenham scouts were impressed by his performance and the 25-year-old is capable of operating in a number of roles.

He can operate on both flanks and he is capable of playing as the central attacking midfielder as well. His versatility could make him a handy option for Tottenham if they manage to secure his services.

The 25-year-old might be keen on playing for a big club in the near future and the opportunity to join Tottenham could be an exciting option for him. The North London outfit could use more quality and depth in the wide areas and Goncalves would be a quality acquisition. The 25-year-old has five goals and four assists across all competitions this season.

He has already proven himself in the Portuguese league and he helped Sporting CP win a league title as well. He might be keen on a new challenge at this stage of his career and the opportunity to play in the Premier League could be an attractive option.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can agree on a fee with Sporting CP now. The 25-year-old is entering his peak years and he could look to hit the ground running in English football. There is no doubt that the 25-year-old has the ability to succeed in the Premier League and it remains to be seen whether he can make an immediate impact.

Sporting CP could demand a premium for him in the coming months and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to break the bank for him. The winger has a contract with Sporting CP until the summer of 2027 and they are under no pressure to cash in on him for a nominal price.
