Andreas Pereira transfer claim emerges as Fulham 'star' is linked with Tottenham switch

John Wenham does not want Tottenham to sign Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira.

The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose doesn't believe the Brazillian is good enough.

As reported by Globo Esporte (5 June), Spurs, Aston Villa and Newcastle United have all expressed an interest in signing the 28-year-old.

But Wenham - speaking exclusively to Tottenham News - doesn't want Ange Postecoglou's side to follow up on their interest.

“He is one of the star players at Fulham, that is for sure,” Wenham said.

“But for Tottenham, I think he would just be an average player, and for that reason, I don’t want the club to sign him.

“I could think of three or four players I would rather sign from Fulham alone.”

Would Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira improve Tottenham?

Pereira performed well for Fulham during the 2023/24 campaign.

He was one of the club's standout players, but it is difficult to say that he did enough to warrant a move to a top-six Premier League team.

He scored three goals and provided seven assists and if he was being signed as a squad player, then perhaps it would make sense.

But this is unlikely to be a signing which would get supporters off their feet in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In addition, Pereira is already 28 and doesn't have much room left to develop under Postecoglou.

If he were to be signed, fans would expect one or two big-name players to go along with him.

In other Tottenham news, Wenham believes the club could re-sign a former player as a sell-on clause claim emerges.
