Tottenham eyeing Allan move

Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a January move for Napoli midfielder Allan, according to Talksport.

The Brazil international has gained many admirers since signing to Europe in 2012, with his reputation growing even more under the guidance of Mauricio Sarri, who moved to Chelsea in the summer.

Now, Allan could be set for a switch to the Premier League himself, with Manchester City and Chelsea also among the sides who have been monitoring his progress.

Since signing for Napoli, he has racked up close to one hundred and fifty appearances in all competitions, scoring nine goals and was part of the squad that has finished in the top three in each of the last three seasons.

Internationally, the former Vasco da Gama man made his senior debut for Brazil in the 1-0 friendly victory over Uruguay earlier this month, and also featured in the victory over Cameroon days later.
