Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the AC Milan attacker Rafael Leao during the summer transfer window.
The 26-year-old has been linked to the Premier League in the past as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done before the transfer window later today. They are looking to add more attacking depth to the squad, and they want to sign a central defender as well.
Tottenham want Rafael Leao
The Portuguese International could be the ideal acquisition for them. He is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and he will add pace, flair, and unpredictability to the side. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for the 26-year-old. It would be the ideal step up in his career right now. He has proven himself in Italy over the years, and there is no doubt that he is good enough to compete in the Premier League as well.
According to Miguel Delaney, the deal will be difficult to get across the line. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham follow up on their interest with an official offer to get the deal done.
They have done well to improve the attacking unit with the signing of Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons. Another quality attacker could complete their attacking unit for the foreseeable future.
Spurs could use a quality player like Leao
They have managed to win a European trophy recently, and they will be an attractive destination for players. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the Portuguese international to join the club.
They will be hoping to fight for major trophies this season, and they need to keep improving the squad. They looked mediocre, going forward last season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch.
