Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Colombian International midfielder Richard Rios during the summer transfer window.
According to journalist Eduardo Burgos, Tottenham ‘really like’ the 25-year-old Palmeiras midfielder, and he could cost around $20-25 million this summer.
Tottenham need midfield depth
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to come forward with an offer for him. They need more depth and quality in the middle of the park, and the 25-year-old could be the ideal acquisition. He has the technical attributes and physicality to do well in the Premier League. He will add creativity, drive and defensive cover to the side.
The hard-working midfielder is still relatively young, and he could improve further. He has been backed to “grow a lot” in future. He could prove to be a solid acquisition for Tottenham for the reported price. There is no doubt that he would be a bargain for them if he manages to adapt to English football.
Tottenham must improve their squad this summer, and the midfield will be one of their priorities. The 25-year-old scored four goals for Palmeiras this past season.
Richard Rios should move to England
Regular football in England could help the player improve further and fulfil his potential. It could be the ideal next step in his career. Tottenham will be able to provide him with Champions League football, and he will find it hard to turn them down if there is a concrete proposal on the table.
Crystal Palace and Newcastle United are keeping tabs on his situation as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to come forward with an offer to sign the player. Meanwhile, La Liga club Atletico Madrid are monitoring his development as well.
