# Tottenham Hotspur: ESPN journalist drops Eder Militao transfer hint

**Speaking to [Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1349347126170497027), regular ESPN journalist Tim Vickery has dropped a promising transfer hint – imploring supporters and the footballing world alike to ‘[watch this space](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1349347126170497027)‘ with Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho [‘certainly interested’](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1349347126170497027) in a swoop for Real Madrid defender Eder Militao.**

Militao is said to be attracting serious interest from the Portuguese manager as he scours the market for defensive options, with reports from [Corriere dello Sport](https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2021/01/11-78083365/eder_milita_o_niente_serie_a_c_e_l_offerta_di_mourinho) claiming that Tottenham have even contacted the Galacticos over a loan move.

### ESPN journalist drops Militao hint

Now, ESPN reporter Vickery has hinted that this move ‘[could go through](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1349347126170497027)‘ – with Mourinho ‘[certainly interested](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1349347126170497027)‘ whilst saying these reports come from the Portuguese press who have good contacts when it comes to the Lilywhites gaffer.

Dropping this enticing transfer hint, the journalist has implored on-lookers to ‘[watch this space](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1349347126170497027)‘ as a deal for Militao is certainly possible this window.

As this [‘very interesting’](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1349347126170497027) potential Militao to Spurs development emerges, as described by [Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1349347126170497027), Lilywhites supporters could hold a glimmer of hope in bringing a signing through the door in January.

### Transfer Tavern take

Whist the winter window isn’t traditionally busy for Tottenham, Daniel Levy did secure Steven Bergwijn last year and the likes of Lucas Moura during in previous Januaries – so you cannot exactly rule out a deal happening this month.

It shall depend on developments, but journalist Vickery seemingly believes that Spurs signing Militao is certainly a possibility as he dropped that enticing hint.
