Tottenham are apparently interested in signing Antony, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United. Because of his outstanding performances for Ajax last season, the Brazilian winger has garnered the attention of a number of Premier League's elite clubs.
Antony helped Ajax win the Eredivisie last season by scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in 32 games. In seven Champions League appearances, he scored two goals and added four assists.
Antony is a target for Manchester United this summer. After their contracts expire on June 30, Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani, and Juan Mata are expected to leave the club. As a result, the Red Devils are likely to be on the lookout for fresh attackers this summer.
Tottenham will fight with Manchester United for the 22-year-signing, old's according to the Express. As part of a swap agreement for Antony, Antonio Conte's team is willing to trade Steven Bergwijn plus cash to Ajax.
Bergwijn has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at the north London club since joining for £27 million from PSV in January 2020.
During the January transfer window, Ajax were allegedly keen to sign the Dutch international. The 24-year-old, on the other hand, chose to remain at Tottenham. He may look to leave Conte's side in summer, as he is unlikely to play regularly for the club next season.
When Antonio Conte took over as manager of Tottenham Hotspur in early November last year, the club was wallowing in ninth place in the Premier League rankings. The Italian was able to turn the club's fortunes around and guide them to fourth place in the Premier League table.
As a result, the club's management is prepared to financially support the Italian in the transfer market. Spurs have already signed goalkeeper Fraser Forster, winger Ivan Perisic, and defensive midfielder Yves Bissouma in the summer transfer window.
Manchester United will be vying with Tottenham Hotspur for Antony.
Manchester United is slated to undergo a rebuild under Erik ten Hag following a poor 2021-22 season in which they placed sixth in the Premier League.
Despite the fact that they need to bolster their squad, Manchester United has yet to make any new additions, putting them behind their top-six competitors. Manchester City has signed Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, while Liverpool has signed Benfica's Darwin Nunez.
Tottenham has added three players to its midfield and defense, including a goalie. Meanwhile, according to ESPN, Arsenal has signed Brazilian adolescent Marquinhos from Sao Paulo and is close to finalizing a deal for Portuguese offensive midfielder Fabio Vieira.
Manchester United will look to beat Tottenham to Ajax winger Antony and make a statement in the summer transfer window.
