Tottenham, Everton set sights on Udinese star Rodrigo Becao, as report reveals price tag

Tottenham and Everton are reportedly interested in signing Rodrigo Becao this summer and the same outlet reveals how much he will cost.

Becao is a centre-back who began his career at EC Bahia in his native Brazil. He left South America in July 2018 by joining CSKA Moscow on a season-long loan deal.

Spurs have bolstered Antonio Conte’s ranks with the signings of Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Juve. Now Becao looks set to follow them to north London.

But it’s an understandable asking price given his importance to the Udinese first team.

£17m is an achievable fee for Spurs. They spent
