Tottenham seal another deal as Thomas Frank’s team officially announce the signing of Brazilian full-back Souza.

Tottenham complete fresh deal as Thomas Frank confirms signing of Brazilian left-back Souza

Tottenham Hotspur have wrapped up the signing of promising teenage defender Souza, with the 19-year-old left-back arriving from Santos on a long-term deal.

The move comes at a testing time for Spurs, who are sitting 14th in the Premier League as head coach Thomas Frank works to stabilise results and spark a turnaround in form.

Souza, a Brazil U-17 international, only broke into Santos’ senior side last year but made an immediate impression, clocking up 24 first-team appearances. His switch to north London marks a major step forward in his young career and makes him Frank’s second January addition, following the capture of Conor Gallagher from Atlético Madrid.

Speaking to the club’s official channels, Souza said the transfer fulfilled a lifelong ambition, revealing he grew up watching the Premier League. He described the move as a huge opportunity to develop further and challenge himself at a higher level.

Frank was equally enthusiastic, praising Souza as an adventurous, technically gifted full-back. The Spurs boss said the club sees him as one of the most exciting young left-back talents in the game, capable of making an impact now while continuing to grow.

Despite ongoing scrutiny over his position, Frank insists the club is heading in the right direction. A confidence-boosting Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund in midweek has lifted spirits, and the manager stressed the importance of unity and the continued support he receives from the board.

Tottenham are back in league action this weekend with a key fixture against Burnley. With Spurs 10 points above the relegation places and eight points shy of the top four, Souza will be aiming to make his first appearance as the team look to build momentum and climb the table.
