HITC have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are one of several clubs eyeing a summer move for Brazilian sensation Luis Guilherme.

Brazilian football has served as a constant conveyor belt of talent over several decades and the latest young starlet from the nation to turn the heads of European clubs is Guilherme.

The attacking midfielder broke into Palmeiras’ first team last season and has impressed with his flair, athleticism and versatility.

Spurs plotting move for Luis Guilherme

HITC say that several Premier League sides are now plotting a move for the 17-year-old, with the likes of Tottenham, Brighton, Manchester United and Liverpool all thought to have their eye on him.

Out of these clubs, it is revealed that it is Liverpool who have shown the most concrete interest in Guilherme, having already reached out to intermediaries to agree a deal for the player.

The teenager is alleged to have a release clause of around £50m in his contract with Palmeiras and is also said to be attracting glances from the likes of Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Porto, Benfica and Atletico Madrid.

Spurs Web Opinion

While Guilherme might have a release clause of £50m, I would be surprised if he cost even half of that fee, given his relative lack of experience.

It seems like the Brazilian Under-20 international will have no shortage of suitors in the summer and it will be up to Spurs to convince him that his development would be best served by moving to N17.
