Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Vasco da Gama attacker Rayan in the coming months.
According to NT Vascainos, representatives from the Premier League club scouted the 19-year-old in action against Cruzeiro this weekend. The player is reportedly on the radar of Barcelona as well.
Tottenham want to sign Rayan
Rayan is highly rated in Brazil, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. The player has a €40 million release clause in his contract, and it remains to be seen whether Vasco da Gama are prepared to sanction his departure in the near future.
The report claims that Tottenham are impressed with the player and they are prepared to submit an offer of around €30 million. It remains to be seen whether the offer is accepted when it is presented.
Tottenham need more quality on the flanks, and the 19-year-old could prove to be an excellent long-term investment. He is capable of operating on either flank, and he will add goals and creativity to the side. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for the player as well. It would be a huge step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself at one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Spurs looking to build for the future
Tottenham have recently tried to sign Savinho from Manchester City, and it is clear that they want to add more quality to the wide areas. It will be interesting to see if they can beat clubs like Barcelona to the signing of Rayan. They wanted to sign him last season as well.
They are looking to build a formidable squad for the future, and signing one of the finest young talents in South America would be a wise decision. They have done well to bring in quality young players in recent windows and would add to the formidable pool of young talent at the club.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and South American players tend to prefer a move to Spain. It remains to be seen whether the Spanish champions can get the deal done.
