Premier League clubs hunt for Como captain: Tottenham and Brentford target da Cunha

London clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford have shown serious interest in 25-year-old midfielder and Como captain Lucas da Cunha.

Details: According to Italian football outlet TuttoMercatoWeb, several representatives of England’s top flight are closely monitoring the creative midfielder’s progress in Serie A. However, signing a key figure in Cesc Fàbregas’ side will be extremely difficult: Como’s hierarchy have major plans for their captain, who signed a contract running until 2031 last summer, and will only consider negotiations if they receive an offer too good to refuse.

Tactical versatility, vision and an outstanding passing range make the Frenchman an ideal candidate to strengthen the midfield of a Premier League club. The Italians have no intention of offering financial concessions, meaning potential buyers from England will have to prepare a substantial fee to complete the transfer.

It is worth noting that Lucas da Cunha has represented Como since January 2023, following his move from French side Nice. Having become the captain and orchestrator of attacks for the team from the shores of the picturesque lake, the midfielder played a decisive role in the club’s historic return to Serie A, cementing his reputation as one of the most consistent playmakers in the Italian top flight.
