Tottenham are reportedly keen on completing the agreement for Johnny Cardoso during the January transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Tottenham Hotspur are currently in talks to sign Johnny Cardoso for a fee of around €25 million. Spurs have an option to sign the USMNT international during the summer transfer window for a set fee, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince Real Betis to sell the player in January.
They need midfield reinforcements, and the 23-year-old defensive midfielder could prove to be a quality acquisition. Cardoso has been an important player for the Andalusian club, and he has the attributes to do well in English football as well.
Tottenham need Cardoso
Tottenham have been quite inconsistent this season, and they are in real danger of missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification if they continue to falter. The North London outfit are in desperate need of quality additions, and signing a defensive midfielder like Johnny Cardoso could be ideal.
Spurs have looked quite vulnerable at the back, and a quality defensive midfielder will not only help them tighten up at the back. However, he would also allow the creative players to operate with more freedom. The 23-year-old could protect the defensive unit and break up opposition attacks for Tottenham.
The opportunity to move to England will be quite exciting for the player as well, and he will certainly hope that the two clubs can secure an agreement over the next few days. The 23-year-old is still quite young, and he will only get better with coaching and experience.
Johnny Cardoso could be a key player for Tottenham during the second half of the season. The reported €25 million agreement is quite reasonable for a player of his potential, and he could easily justify the investment in the coming seasons.
Meanwhile, Real Betis might not be keen on losing an important first-team player midway through the season. They will find it difficult to replace him. Tottenham will have to work hard to convince them to sell the player in January instead of waiting until the summer transfer window.
