Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing 20-year-old Brazilian attacker Vitor Roque from Palmeiras.

According to a report from the Brazilian version of Goal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will battle it out for former Barcelona attacker Vitor Roque. The young striker has been quite impressive since the move to Palmeiras, and he has 21 goal contributions this season. He could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Chelsea or Tottenham.

The South American attacker struggled to make his mark in La Liga with Barcelona after completing a €40 million move from Athletico Paranaense, but the opportunity to move to the Premier League could be an exciting one for him.

Vitor Roque will look to prove his quality at the highest level, and this is a golden opportunity for him to redeem his reputation. It will be interesting to see if he is willing to move to the Premier League in the coming months.

Chelsea and Spurs need attacking depth

Chelsea and Tottenham need to add more attacking depth to their squads. However, it will be surprising if Chelsea decide to sign a striker. They could use a wide attacker instead. Chelsea already signed two strikers in the summer, and signing a third centre-forward would be a bit of overkill.

They will not be able to provide the Brazilian with regular opportunities if he joins the club. Nevertheless, the Barcelona flop has emerged as a target for Chelsea. He will need to play more often at this stage of his career, and sitting on the bench at Chelsea will not benefit him. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Meanwhile, Tottenham could provide him with ample opportunities. Dominic Solanke has not been able to impress, and the Brazilian striker will certainly fancy his chances of starting ahead of the English forward. If he manages to establish himself as a key player for Tottenham, it could help his chances with the national team as well.

The 20-year-old will look to establish himself as a key player for club and country. The move to the Premier League would be the ideal step up for him, and regular football in England could accelerate his development. The Brazilian attacker would be a solid long-term acquisition for both teams. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.
