Authenticity (2.5/5): Tottenham considering Muniz move
Tottenham have reportedly identified Fulham's Muniz as a potential transfer target for the summer window.
That is according to GIVEMESPORT, who claim that Tottenham are among a number of clubs weighing up a summer bid, along with Chelsea and West Ham United.
Value (2/5): Fulham reluctant to part ways
While Tottenham are eyeing a possible move, Fulham are keen to retain the Brazilian's services beyond the end of the season.
Muniz is under contract until the summer of 2026, with an option to extend by a further 12 months. However, the Cottagers could offer Muniz a new deal on improved terms to secure his long-term future.
With Fulham reluctant to sanction a sale, there is a belief that they will demand £50m to consider parting ways this summer.
Suitability (3.5/5): Goalscorer with room for improvement
Muniz has only started seven Premier League matches this season, but he has still managed to contribute eight goals in 30 top-flight appearances, including four goals in Fulham's last five league outings.
The forward has proven he can be a threat in the Premier League, and at 23, there is still room for him to improve on the weaker areas of his game, like his hold-up play.
Upgrade? (3.5/5): Possible Richarlison replacement
Tottenham are likely to stick with Dominic Solanke as their first-choice striker for next season after splashing out £65m to sign him from Bournemouth last summer. However, they may need to find a replacement for Richarlison, who continues to be linked with a move away from North London.
Muniz has proven at Fulham this season that he can be a strong option off the bench, while he could also provide cover if Solanke needs a rest or is struggling with injury.
Logic (2.5/5): Dependent on Fulham's European push
Muniz may be unwilling to leave Craven Cottage if Marco Silva's side are successful in their bid to secure European qualification, especially as the forward has never competed in UEFA competition.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will only be able to offer European football if they go all the way in the Europa League.
Whisper+ verdict: 14/25
Tottenham may view Muniz as a possible transfer target, but Fulham are determined to fend off any summer interest, meaning it will difficult for Spurs to pull off this deal.
