However, Some Spurs fans have reacted more positively to this news, with one Tottenham supporter stating that Gerson is a “good player”.
Good player, if we can lower the price to about 10-15 that’s a great deal

As per Transfermarkt, who currently value the midfielder at £9.9m, Gerson moved to Flamengo in July 2019 from Serie A side AS Roma. He has since made 41 appearances for Flamengo in all competitions, providing four assists and scoring four goals whilst predominantly playing in central midfield. He has helped his team to win the Brazilian Serie A, the Recopa Sudamericana, and the Copa Libertadores since joining them last summer.
With all of this in mind, it appears as though Gerson has played a significant role for a successful Flamengo side since joining the club and it may be understandable why he has allegedly been attracting interest from Spurs.
