Valencia reject Tottenham’s €22m bid for Cancelo

 

Tottenham have had an opening €22m (£20m) offer for Valencia right-back Joao Cancelo rejected, reports Pizza Deportiva, via Football Espana.

 

 

The Premier League outfit have earmarked Cancelo as a potential replacement for Kyle Walker, who joined Manchester City in a £50m deal earlier this summer.

 

 

With Kieran Trippier currently sidelined with injury, Mauricio Pochettino was forced to play 20-year-old Kyle Walker-Peters at right-back against Newcastle on Sunday.

 

 

Tottenham only have a few weeks remaining to sign another right-back and Pochettino’s side will need to match Valencia’s reported €25m (£22.7m) offer if they are to sign Cancelo.

 

 

 

 

Only Filipe Luis (145) has completed more dribbles than Cancelo (114) of defenders in the last two La Liga seasons.
