Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham were shocked when Fulham took charge of the classic national team of Brazil. Fulhamhave reportedly led the race to sign Fluminense midfielder Andre, who is a
target for Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. The 22-year-old is currently
one of the most sought-after players in
South America and is believed to be set
to join the Premier League club in
January. Andre broke into the
Fluminense first team in 2020 and has
been on the rise. In total, he played 163
matches in the jersey of the Brazilian giant, scoring four goals and providing
three assists. He usually operates in a
defensive midfield position and his best
qualities are blocking and breaking up
opponents’ attacks with interceptions.
That said, his performances have
attracted the attention of several top
clubs. He has also played twice for Brazil,
so there is no doubt about his quality.
Tottenham also want to sign Andre as
they consider a possible replacement for
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has been
linked with a move away from Spurs for
some time. But now it looks like Fulham
could win the fierce race for the
Brazilian master. According to The
Sunday Mirror, it seems “very likely”
Andrew will make the move in January.
They claim Liverpool, Arsenal and
Tottenham are interested in him.
Gunners sporting director Edu has
personally taken note of his recent
appearances. However, the report claims
that Fulham “find themselves in the
center of the midfield position”. Marco Silva is interested in signing Andre as a
potential replacement for Joao Palhinha,
who could get another chance to join Bayern Munich in January despite
recently signing a new deal with the Cottagers. Joining Fulham could also be
the best option for Andre’s career, as he
is likely to get more game time at the Cottagers than at Liverpool, Arsenal or
Tottenham – all of whom have top-class
midfielders. Fluminense are said to value
Andre at around £30m, so it will be
interesting to see if Fulham are willing to
match that price tag in January.
