Tottenham Set to Table Enhanced Bid for Promising Santos Left-Back Souza

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to step up their pursuit of Santos left-back Souza after their opening bid was turned down, according to talkSPORT. Spurs saw an £8 million offer for the 19-year-old rejected but remain determined to land the defender and are expected to return with an enhanced proposal.

Newcastle United have also been linked with Souza in recent weeks, but talkSPORT claims the Magpies are not currently in the race, leaving Tottenham in pole position to secure the Brazilian’s signature.

Souza caught the eye during an impressive 2025 season with Gremio, where he cemented his place as a regular in Serie A. The teenage full-back made 24 league appearances, registering one goal and two assists, and his performances have drawn interest from across Europe.

As Spurs continue to focus on recruiting young players with significant potential, a renewed approach for Souza could be imminent as they look to bolster their defensive ranks.
