He has ’embraced the process with great commitment’.The Brazilian’s maturity and humility have also impressed many at Porto, with the youngster showing a ‘real hunger’ to learn the ropes.His attitude has seen the full-back ‘gain points’ with Farioli, and the outlet predicts that his first competitive minutes may not be far away.Souza’s former coach makes admission about his developmentMeanwhile, Record (via Sport Witness) spoke to coach Orlando Ribeiro, who worked with the Tottenham left-back when he was younger.Interestingly, Ribeiro revealed that Souza’s attacking attributes were always his biggest strength, but noted that he has improved the defensive side of his game over the last few years.He said about the left-back: “He is better in the attacking phase. He has vision, understands attacking dynamics very well, passes well and is quick. He evolved. You could already see that with Santos’ first team.“He didn’t lose his attacking characteristics, but he improved. He hasn’t reached his ideal point yet. He’s still developing, but I see a very promising future for him.”READ MORE: Five Tottenham players who must step up or risk being sold in 2027, including a vice-captainThe post ‘Real hunger’ – Tottenham will love the buzzwords Porto are using to describe Souza appeared first on Spurs Web.
