Tottenham Hotspur send scout to watch teenage Brazilian forward

Tottenham Hotspur scouts are likely to be a semi-regular occurrence at the Benito Villamarin in the coming months, due to the buy option they have on Johnny Cardoso. However their most recent trip to see Real Betis was not solely dedicated to the USMNT international.
Spurs have a €25m buy option on Cardoso, but Relevo explain that their scouting mission to see Betis' 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano also involved watching Brazilian forward Vitor Roque. The 19-year-old is on loan from Barcelona, but has started to show signs of his talent at Betis, and has 7 goal contributions in 24 appearances this season.

Brazilian giants Palmeiras were linked with a €20m move for Roque this week, but Betis are reluctant to let him go. They have a €25m buy option themselves on Roque, and an option to extend his loan deal for a year. Los Verdiblancos need to make €20m in transfers before the end of June in order to balance their accounts though, and for the right money, they could no doubt be tempted.
