Tottenham Hotspur have finalized their second signing during the January transfer window as they aim to rejuvenate their squad.
The season has been challenging for last season's Europa League champions, with manager Thomas Frank's team struggling in the lower half of the league and recently exiting the FA Cup after a defeat to Aston Villa.
Despite previous summer acquisitions, Spurs are focused on further reinforcing their squad, aiming to improve from their disappointing finish last year where they ended 17th in the league.
Defender deal finalized for Spurs alongside Conor Gallagher signing
Conor Gallagher has already been introduced as a new addition, joining from Chelsea for £35 million to provide cover due to Rodrigo Bentancur's hamstring injury.
Reports indicate another signing may soon be announced, bolstering the squad ahead of the upcoming matches.
The latest transfer involves Santos defender Souza, with a fee of around €15 million agreed after initial discussions for €10 million. This financial move is critical for the Brazilian club to settle debts and avoid FIFA sanctions.
Following a loan of Joao Basso to Estoril Praia, Santos faces pressure regarding debts incurred, with a deadline looming to prevent transfer bans.
In pursuit of European competition for next season, Tottenham remains active in the transfer market, exploring further signings before the window closes.
Goalkeeping is a priority area as well, with Antonin Kinsky expected to depart, prompting Spurs to consider replacing Guglielmo Vicario, who has been connected to a long-term move to Inter Milan.
Potential goalkeeper targets include Andriy Lunin, Bart Verbruggen, and Mile Svilar.
As Tottenham prepares to face West Ham United, the Premier League action is set to heat up this weekend.
