Tottenham Hotspur are tracking Coritiba's 21-year-old winger Lucas Ronier. The Brazilian youngster has impressed in his native league, with 3 goals and 2 assists in 23 games this season.
What's the situation?
Coritiba have begun paying close attention to Ronier's future ahead of a crucial couple of months. His contract runs until December 31, 2027.
Why it matters for Tottenham Hotspur
The North Londoners are in dire need of reinforcements in wide areas of the pitch. Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert are unlikely to play again in 2026 after suffering ACL injuries.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| League standing | 17th in Premier League, 41 pts, 10W-11D-17L from 38 games |
| Goals this season | 48 scored, 57 conceded (-9 goal difference) |
| Title race | 44 points behind leaders Arsenal |
Tottenham will not expect Ronier to walk straight into their starting XI; instead, they will have a long-term plan to hone his skill set. Transitioning from South American football to European football has historically proved difficult for players.
What comes next?
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will table an official proposal for Ronier in the coming weeks. Fulham are also interested in the Brazilian winger, who could be a potential replacement for Harry Wilson.
