<\/p>\nVitor Roque has caught the attention of several Premier League heavyweights following his impressive spell with Palmeiras.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian forward has been in excellent form since returning to his homeland in February 2025, scoring 20 goals in 52 appearances for the club. His resurgence has reignited interest from top English sides.<\/p>\n
Chelsea had previously pursued Roque back in April 2023 before he opted to join Barcelona, but with his revival in Brazil, another move to Europe could be on the cards. Palmeiras are now bracing for strong interest from Premier League clubs ahead of the summer 2026 window.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As revealed on the latest episode of Football Insider\u2019s Inside Track podcast, Roque\u2019s performances have attracted attention from several English clubs. Tottenham are among those scouting new strikers and are also keeping tabs on Samu Aghehowa.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the podcast, it was noted:
\n\u201cRoque arrived at Barcelona from Athletico with huge expectations but struggled to establish himself. His move back to Palmeiras has seen him regain top form, and he could become a major target for Premier League teams this summer. Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all likely to be in the mix if he keeps this level up.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, with Roque under contract at Palmeiras until December 2029, Tottenham may find a deal difficult to pull off financially.<\/p>\n
Instead, a more realistic target could be Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. Former Everton chief Keith Wyness told Football Insider that Spurs are leading the race to sign the Serbian, whose contract expires at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
Vlahovic has reportedly informed Juventus of his desire to seek new challenges, making him an appealing option for Thomas Frank as Tottenham look to strengthen their attacking options \u2014 either via a January move or a pre-contract agreement for the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
