Tottenham Hotspur secured a first refusal option on Johnny Cardoso when they sold Giovani Lo Celso to Real Betis.

The Lilywhites have an option to sign Cardoso for a fee of around €25 million in the summer transfer window.

It will be interesting to see if they take the option to sign the player in the summer.

The 23-year-old midfielder was recently asked about a potential move to the Premier League, and he has remained quite on the situation.

He said to AS via Sport Witness, “I don’t think about it; it’s in the hands of my father and my agent. I try to enjoy myself and to evolve.

Things will happen if my performance in the team is good.”

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham come forward with an offer to sign in the summer.

They could certainly use more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the United States international would be a quality addition.

For the reported valuation, he could prove to be a super investment.

Cardoso would be a useful addition

The American midfielder has proven his quality in La Liga, and he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well.

Spurs need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and Johnny Cardoso will add some much needed physicality to the side as well.

The midfielder has established himself as an important player for La Liga club Real Betis, and he has a quality to develop into a key player for Tottenham as well.

The North London club clearly have an advantage in the race to sign him, and they should make the most of the opportunity.

Signing a player of his quality for €25 million would represent a major bargain in the long-term.

Tottenham will be hoping to fight for trophies in the coming season, and they will want to compete in the Champions League regularly. They need more depth and quality in the side.

Spurs cannot pass on the opportunity to sign a proven performer like Cardoso in the summer.
