Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are thought to be keeping tabs on the Palmeiras midfielder Gabriel Menino.
The 20-year-old midfielder is highly rated in Brazil and he has a massive future ahead of him.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus and Atletico Madrid have set their sights on him along with the two Premier League clubs.
The report adds that Menino is ready for a big leap in Europe and it will be interesting to see if the likes of Spurs and Chelsea come forward with a concrete offer for the player in the coming weeks.
SL View: Menino would be a superb long-term investment
Menino can operate as a box to box midfielder as well as a winger because of his crossing and dribbling ability.
The 20-year-old is an excellent passer from the deep as well as in the final third. He can be useful as a set-piece taker and the midfielder is quite accomplished in the air as well.
The Brazilian could develop into one of the most complete midfielders around with experience and coaching and it remains to be seen which of his suitors manage to snap him up this summer.
There is no doubt that the likes of Spurs and Chelsea could use a complete midfielder like him next season and the transfer would be a superb long term investment for them.
However, they must look to secure Champions League qualification in order to fend off the competition from the likes of Atletico Madrid and Juventus.
Menino is likely to choose a side who can offer him regular first-team football and it remains to be seen whether the likes of Spurs and Chelsea can provide him with such assurances.
