It is suggested that any move is likely to take place in the summer. Araujo has reportedly come onto Tottenham’s radar having been scouted during the most recent MLS season.

The reports have attracted a mixed response from Spurs fans on social media. Understandably, there are plenty who are unsure about a move for the 19-year-old.
