# Tottenham could sign Wilfried Singo immediately

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) could complete the signing of Torino right-wing back Wilfried Singo immediately if they are willing to pay £18m, according to a new report.**

### The Lowdown: Tottenham target right-wing back

[Antonio Conte](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/antonio-conte/) has made it quite clear that he desires a new right-wing back in the January transfer window, with journalist Rudy Galetti reporting that he also has Denzel Dumfries on his radar, owing to disappointing performances from Emerson Royal. (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/antonio-conte-hunt-old-target-tottenham-never-left-radar-club-willing-negotiate-january-deal/))

The Netherlands international would set Tottenham back around £26m, while other target Pedro Porro is believed to have a release clause worth [£39m](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1715120/Tottenham-transfer-news-Pedro-Porro-Sporting-Lisbon-Antonio-Conte-Premier-League) included in his contract with Sporting.

As such, Spurs may now turn their attentions to a cheaper option, with Singo potentially fitting the bill…

### The Latest: Singo available?

According to [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-target-leave-immediately-january-right-offer-arrives-least-e20m), who are relaying information from La Stampa, the Ivorian ‘could leave immediately if the right offer arrives’, which would need to be at least £18m.

The full-back is said to be liked by Napoli, while also admired from teams in Spain and England, so there is likely to be a battle for his signature.

### The Verdict: Worth it?

With Emerson failing to impress, it is clear that Conte must strengthen in his area of the pitch, and the 22-year-old would be a very good option to have, and a cheaper alternative to the other names linked.

Lauded as being a ‘[revelation](https://twitter.com/Bonetti/status/1347992501899194371?s=20&t=f5zYGlkfxBip9R_33_lHFg)‘ by Serie A analyst Matteo Bonetti, the youngster has wide array of talents, but particularly flourishes at dribbling, registering an average of [1.29](https://fbref.com/en/players/8b609c34/Wilfried-Singo) completed dribbles per 90 over the past year, placing him in the 88th percentile compared to positional peers.

Emerson, on the other hand, has averaged just [0.66](https://fbref.com/en/players/df8b52a5/Emerson) in that timeframe, highlighting that he is not cut out for the system being implemented at Tottenham, which relies on attacking contributions from the wing-backs.

The 6 foot 3 colossus would also be useful to have at corners, such is his dominance in the air, in the [95th](https://fbref.com/en/players/8b609c34/Wilfried-Singo) percentile for aerials won per 90, proving himself as a multi-talented player who would bring a range of different qualities to Tottenham.
