The Premier League has a habit of noticing momentum before it becomes mainstream. According to Fichajes, that instinct is now being applied to Endrick, whose loan spell in France has begun to reshape how Europe’s elite view his immediate future. The report notes that “several Premier League clubs have asked about Endrick”, a line that feels less speculative with each passing week.

Loaned out by Real Madrid to Olympique Lyon, the Brazilian has delivered a sharp statement of intent. Four goals and one assist in seven matches represent more than early promise, they suggest a player learning quickly how to impose himself in senior football. It is little surprise that this form has “generated strong international interest”, particularly from England.
At Valdebebas there is calm rather than excitement. Fichajes report that “there is satisfaction with Endrick’s development”, reflecting a loan strategy designed to harden rather than hide him. The decision to send him into a demanding environment was deliberate, and the response has exceeded internal expectations.
Endrick’s performances have been characterised by personality and maturity. As one internal assessment puts it, “he has shown composure in front of goal and a reading of the game more advanced than expected”. For Real Madrid, these months are about learning habits and resilience, not headlines. Yet the headlines are following regardless, carried by favourable reports from across Europe.
Among the English clubs monitoring the situation, Tottenham Hotspur stand out. Fichajes state that Tottenham “value his potential over the medium term”, seeing a profile suited to the pace and intensity of English football. This is not described as an instant solution, but as “a strategic bet”.
Within Tottenham, there is admiration for Endrick’s power, movement into space and capacity to grow. One view circulating is that “he fits the rhythm of the Premier League without needing to be rushed”. That patience aligns with Real Madrid’s own stance. The Spanish club “are aware of the interest but remain calm”, with no appetite for hurried decisions around one of their most valuable assets.

Tottenham are not alone. Leeds United and Sunderland have also begun to explore the situation. Both clubs believe Endrick’s attributes translate well to English football. At Leeds, he is seen as “an ideal profile to grow and increase in value within an ambitious project”. Sunderland, meanwhile, believe he “could become a decisive figure in the short term if his current form continues”.
The Premier League’s appeal as a development stage is clear. Young players with immediate impact and room to improve are prized commodities, and Endrick fits that brief. Real Madrid understand that careful management of this interest can enhance his value, whether the end point is a return to Madrid or a different solution.
For now, control remains firmly with Real Madrid. “There is no urgency”, the report stresses, and the plan remains intact. Endrick continues to grow, and the Premier League continues to watch.
Endrick feels like the sort of forward Tottenham rarely manage to access at the right moment. Young enough to mould, talented enough to excite, and hungry enough to prove himself, he fits the idea of a forward who could grow with the club rather than arrive fully formed.
What stands out is the emphasis on patience. Spurs fans know the damage done by rushing young attackers into leadership roles they are not ready for. The suggestion that this would be a medium term project feels reassuring. If Tottenham can offer Endrick minutes, structure and belief without overwhelming him, the upside is enormous.
Spurs supporters will hope the club can sell a vision that balances development with ambition. If this interest becomes something more concrete, many fans would see it as a sign that Tottenham are thinking smarter about talent acquisition. Even being part of the conversation suggests a club trying to operate with foresight, and for Spurs fans, that alone feels like progress.
