Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a bid for Manchester City right-back Yan Couto. Spurs plan to sell Emerson Royal and bring in Couto to compete with Pedro Porro. City has set a £40 million price tag on Couto.

The Brazilian, who joined City for £6 million in 2020 from Coritiba, has been on loan at Girona for the past two seasons, contributing to their first-ever Champions League qualification last term. Despite rumors of another loan, reports suggest Couto extended his City contract until 2026. He recorded one goal and ten assists in La Liga and made his Brazil debut in October. Meanwhile, Spurs face competition from Manchester City and Liverpool for Leeds midfielder Archie Gray, 18.

Borussia Dortmund was deterred by Leeds’ £20 million asking price, but the Championship side, needing funds to comply with FFP, may facilitate negotiations. Leeds might also sell Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto, with clubs like Brighton, Chelsea, and West Ham interested in Summerville following his impressive season in the second division.

Here is the skills highlight video of Yan Couto.
