Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hospur could make a late bid for Atalanta defensive midfielder Ederson.

That is according to a report in NapoliMagazine, which has noted Tottenham’s current stance on the Brazilian.

So, what has been reported about Tottenham Hotspur and Ederson? Let’s take a look.

Tottenham Hotspur ready to bid for Ederson

Well, according to , Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Ederson from Atalanta in the final days of the January transfer window.

The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that after signing defender Radu Dragusin from Genoa earlier this month, Spurs are now ready to bid for Atalanta defensive midfielder Ederson.

The report has noted that Tottenham are “ready” to make an “assault” for Ederson, adding that the Premier League club would have to beat Juventus to the signing of the midfielder who cost Atalanta €15 million (£13 million) in transfer fees when they signed him in the summer of 2022 ().

Liverpool have been linked with Ederson, who is on the radar of Newcastle United as well.

My View: Atalanta do not need to sign Ederson

In my opinion, Tottenham Hotspur do not need to sign Ederson from Atalanta in the coming days.

I do not think that Spurs need to strengthen their central/defensive midfield for the time being.

Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma are brilliant central midfielders.

Oliver Skipp is also a very good option for Spurs in the middle of the park. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is still at Tottenham.

Ederson has made 20 starts and one substitute appearance in Serie A for Atalanta this season. He has scored five goals and given one assist in those matches.

The Brazilian has also scored one goal in four starts and one substitute appearance in the UEFA Europa League this campaign.
