Transfer speculation to the Premier League is giving Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso confidence, according to the United States international.
Cardoso, 23, has been a regular in Manuel Pellegrini’s side since joining the LaLiga club in January 2024 from Brazilian outfit Internacional. Tottenham have a priority option to sign Cardoso in the future for a reported £21 million (€25m).
“I can’t lie and it’s true that it’s something that gives me confidence, that makes me feel valued because I’m doing a good job,” Cardoso told Diario de Sevilla about Tottenham’s interest.
“But I always try to improve, try to do my best for the benefit of the group and grow as a person on and off the pitch.
“However, now my head is only in Betis. This season we have important things to think about.”
