Tottenham Hotspur send scout to watch teenage Brazilian forward

Tottenham Hotspur scouts are likely to make a semi-regular appearance at the Benito Villamarin in the coming months due to the purchase option they have on Johnny Cardoso. However, their most recent visit to Real Betis was not solely dedicated to the USMNT International.

Spurs have a €25 million purchase option on Cardoso, but Relevo explains that their scouting mission to watch Betis' 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano also included watching Brazilian striker Vitor Roque. The 19-year-old is on loan from Barcelona but has started to show signs of his talent at Betis and has scored seven goals in 24 appearances this season.

Brazilian giants Palmeiras were linked with a €20million move for Roque this week, but Betis are reluctant to let him go. They themselves have a €25 million purchase option on Roque, and an option to extend his loan deal for another year. However, Los Verdiblancos need to make €20m in transfers before the end of June to balance their books, and for the right money they could undoubtedly be tempted.
