Twist in the tale: Tottenham stance on 23-year-old revealed, they have edge in transfer race

Cardoso has been outstanding for Real Betis, and he has established himself as one of the best midfielders in La Liga this season. There is no doubt that he would be an excellent acquisition for Tottenham, especially for the reported price. He could prove to be a major bargain for €25 million.

The United States International has been linked with other clubs as well, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. Tottenham clearly have an edge in the transfer race because of their agreement with the Spanish club.

According to a report from Spanish publication AS via SportWitness, Tottenham are not too keen on the player, and therefore, they have not decided to trigger the release yet. It will be interesting to see if their stance changes in the coming weeks. 

Tottenham need midfield depth

There is no doubt that they need more depth in the middle of the park. They need more physicality and defensive cover in the midfield, and the United States International could be the ideal acquisition. 

Tottenham have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and it is fair to assume that they will be an attractive destination for players. The United States International could be tempted to join them if there is a concrete proposal on the table. 

Tottenham must improve their squad this summer if they want to fight for trophies again next season. They had a disappointing Premier League campaign, and they will look to bounce back strongly. Quality players like Cardoso will certainly help them improve.
